Anne and I had arranged to go to London to attend a friend’s 60th birthday party so we decided to go a day early and visit the WWT centre at Barnes. We got the tube to Hammersmith and then a number 283 bus from Hammersmith bus station (stand K) which is just at the rear of the tube station and the bus took us all the way to the entrance so it was all very easy getting there. As it was a week-day it was quite quiet apart from lots of school children on group visits but these were largely confined to the conservation section and few ventured into the “wild” section. It was a gloriously sunny day but not too warm to be comfortable.
