About the event

MWT Onchan Community Wetlands, offers a small piece of wild in the heart of Onchan! Full of twisted willows, dangling ivy and deep swamps this little site attracts an abundance of birds for its suburban location. Join the local community group managing the reserve for a morning of dawn chorus. Together we’ll listen and record what we hear, as well as chat about the ongoing work taking place at the wetlands. Please bring binoculars if you have them and we recommend downloading the free Merlin bird app if you can. Hot drinks provided as well as some chairs (although please bring your own camping chair if you can). Looking forward to seeing you there!

Access either via Church Road or Derwent Drive in Onchan. On road parking available. The site has limited access for wheelchairs. The full path around the wetlands is not wheelchair accessible, however the position of the event will be. Dogs on leads allowed. This event is free with no need to book. It is weather dependant however, so please check the Manx Wildlife Trust Facebook page for any updates
