AMATEUR ornithologists have one last chance for duck watching at the Cotswold Water Park this month.

On Saturday and Sunday visitors to the park will have a chance to view some of the most spectacular ducks which visit the park during the winter months, such as the smew, wigeon, shoveler, pintail and gadwall.

From 9am to 3pm each day, the private hides on the Lower Mill Estate in the Cotswold Water Park will be open to the public, with experienced staff on hand to answer any queries.

There is no charge for this event but donations are welcomed.

Please remember to bring strong walking shoes and warm clothing.

For more information call Jill Bewley or Gareth Harris on 01285 861459, or email events@waterpark.org.
