OPEN<br />
NEW at <strong>Arundel</strong> Wetl<strong>and</strong> Centre<br />
The new Coastal Creek aviary is l<strong>and</strong>scaped with rocks, shoreline<br />
vegetation <strong>and</strong> waterfalls, to recreate a coastline feel, giving the<br />
seaducks <strong>and</strong> waders inside a more natural environment. St<strong>and</strong>ing 15<br />
metres tall <strong>and</strong> 40 metres long the aviary offers plenty of space for the<br />
birds to take flight.<br />
Tim McGregor, <strong>Arundel</strong> Centre Manager. “With waders <strong>and</strong> ducks both<br />
swimming around <strong>and</strong> flying above visitors, it’s a truly multi-sensory<br />
experience.”<br />
Three types of habitat exist in the new Coastal Creek aviary. The wader<br />
stream replicates the shallow estuaries <strong>and</strong> gravelled beaches for<br />
redshank <strong>and</strong> avocets, while seaducks will feel at home in the deep<br />
water dive tank or climbing the waterfalls that mimic coastal cliffs.<br />
Also look out for the new Pelican Cove exhibit next door, the home of<br />
magnificent Dalmatian pelicans. The team will be on h<strong>and</strong> to answer<br />
questions at these exciting, new exhibits.<br />
