Day Out to WWT Barnes 11th April 2012
While we were in London visiting relatives it seemed like a good chance to go out to Barnes to the Wetland Centre. I had only been once before and was keen to have a second look. It was a lovely, sunny day with just hints that it might rain occasionally but this had its downside as well as its upside. It has to be said about Barnes that there are very few parts of the site that cannot be visited with a pushchair and whilst this is great for disabled access it does mean that many of the hides and the environs generally can be dominated by mothers with very young children. When I was there I would guess that the majority of the visitors were young children for whom the site is a bit of a nature play park.
