About Soup and Starlings at Newport Wetlands

As Autumn turns to Winter the starling murmuration's are a wildlife spectacular not to be missed at Newport Wetlands. This event will start with a hearty serving of locally-made soup from our Café and a presentation to help unravel some of the mysteries of the murmuration's. Then, we will head on onto the reserve with our knowledgeable guides and show you the best places to see the murmuration's for yourselves.

As well as the fabulous starlings show we very often see raptors such as marsh harriers or sparrowhawks on the hunt as the sun sets over the reedbeds. Of course we cannot guarantee the starlings will be there but it is unusual to not to see any murmuration's at Newport Wetlands. Please arrive promptly 10 minutes before the event is due to start to check in at the visitor centre. Tickets are limited on these events so we advise to book your place as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. These events will go ahead in most weather conditions as rain and wind won't stop the starlings!

Accessibility We have a large selection of routes at Newport that are fully accessible. We have mobility equipment free to hire including electric scooters and manual wheelchairs. Please contact us before booking if you have any questions about the accessibility of the event.

What else is there to do at Newport Wetlands? The café is open 10am-4pm. You can hire binoculars from the Visitor Centre, and we have play equipment for children in our Discovery Zone. You can also hire a Nature Quest back pack for more adventures on the day!

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event? Please bring either printed or electronic proof of your ticket. If you booked as an RSPB member, the member needs to bring their membership card with them.
