Barnacle Goose Bonanza Gander with RSPB

Be immersed in returning Svalbard Barnacle Geese, nearby and above our heads as we head down to one of the hides at Mersehead. With flocks of ducks, geese and wading birds arriving in massive numbers. This will give you a chance to see it all close-up and learn how we manage this special place for nature.
