04.NOV.2008 WWT London wetland centre
At first, I was impressed by the fact that wetland can exist in central of the huge and busy capital city. I think that kind of places with ecological and environmental importance, are generally located in suburbs of a city because of economical value of lands. However, London wetland centre is amazingly huge, well made in the city and included various views of nature and facilities to watch animals mainly birds.
It was very interesting to observe birds in wooden houses called ‘hide’ including windows to watch birds not to make them surprised. In addition, there are many areas to educate children and visitors about birds, insects, wetland plants and etc so it is easy to understand why and how wetland is important.
“The 42 hectare London Wetland Centre is the best urban site in Europe to watch wildlife, an international award winning visitor attraction and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).”
