Well, this has been a long time coming it seems! Almost 6 months without a post.. shame on me.
Its not that I no longer care about this blog, its just that I'm far too poor to be able to have fun adventures with which to entertain people with - thanks student loans and the rising price of petrol!
Anywhere, somewhere I have been able to afford to visit recently was the Washington (sadly not D.C) Wetlands Centre in Tyne and Wear.
The main paddock
The centre is on the banks of the river Wear and is a home to all kinds of exotic, but also indigenous birds.
Flamingoes
Ducks, geese and swans all roam around the 'close encounters' enclosure waiting to be fed bird seed by non dangerous looking children and more unusual specimens such as cranes and flamingoes can be viewed from a distance.

I visited mid afternoon on a one of the sunniest days of the year so far and had a really nice time. There is plenty to see, some really nice walks to go on and a big adventure play ground to entertain children. But its definitely advisable to go in good weather, as almost everything to see is outside with no shelter from the rain.
