About Dawn Explosion at Newport Wetlands

Start your day with one of nature's most breath taking spectacles! 🌅

Before dawn breaks, we'll head out onto the reserve to witness clouds of starlings taking off all at once. Using the reedbed as their runway, the starlings head out to feed for the day. Once the sky settles, we'll continue our walk around the reserve, keeping our eyes and ears open for early-rising wildlife that call Newport Wetlands home.

Upon arriving back at the visitor centre you will enjoy breakfast in our Little Grebe Café to fuel up before you head home (and potentially back to bed)! 🥐☕

‼️Please note you must arrive on time for this event as it is imperative we have enough time to reach the viewing location of this phenomenal spectacle. The dawn explosion will not wait for us‼️

What do I need to bring?

Warm Layers - It can be very cold!

Flask - Bring a warm drink and snack.

Torch - The walk will begin in the dark.

Binoculars/Scope/Camera - We do have binoculars if you do not have your own.

Waterproof - Just in case!
