Last year saw the inaugural Walney Wader Festival that took place on South Walney Nature Reserve run by the Cumbria Wildlife Trust. We are happy to say that it will be running again this year and it is this coming weekend the 21st and 22nd of October.

Once again we will be there and will give a talk on each day, on Saturday it will be an introduction to Wader Quest and on the second it will be "The state of UK waders" looking at the conservation of our native species.
