Kingfishers Bridge Nature Reserve
Since 1995 Kingfishers Bridge Nature Reserve has transformed 250 acres of farmland into a variety of wetland habitats. It is now a vital sanctuary for numerous endangered species of the Cambridgeshire Fens.
Open 365 days a year, dawn-dusk, at CB7 5XL
- We're very sorry that @thekingfishercafe.bsky.social and Visitor Centre are closed this weekend (7-8 February) due to staff shortages. The Reserve itself is open as usual, so do come for a walk, but bear in mind there will be no access to the facilities in the Visitor Centre.
- 🤔 Are you an experienced catering or hospitality manager looking for a new challenge? 👨🏾🍳 We're seeking a full-time manager to run @thekingfishercafe.bsky.social here at the Reserve. The role includes development, strategy and budgeting plus hands-on team leadership, cooking, and front-of house.
- 🌱 Look forward to spring by booking one of our gorgeous Dawn Chorus Walks: • Saturday 7 March, 6am — just 5️⃣ places left! • Saturday 28 March, 5:30am • Saturday 4 April, 6:15am 🦉 We'll go deep into the Reserve to hear Warblers and Lapwing, Barn Owls and Bitterns at the most magical time of the day.
- 🍂🪚🔥 Yesterday we welcomed onto the Reserve a brilliant volunteer work party of Environment Agency hydrologists, who helped clear and burn pollarded willow branches from the bottom of the Mound 👍💪 🙋👷♀️☕ Do you lead a team who'd like a volunteer day with us, in exchange for coffee & cake? Get in touch!
