About

Can you quack the clues this Easter?
Join Slimbridge for a family day out of exploration and discovery that will put all of your senses to the test.

Get closer than ever to nature on a Easter trail and reveal the wildlife secrets only a true Duck Detective knows.

It's time to use your super sleuthing skills to investigate the mystery of the missing duck! Follow the clues and use everything from feathers to bird calls, to footprints to complete the trail. Quack the case and become a fully-fledged Duck Detective.

Top tip: Being a great nature detective is about using all your senses to notice the natural world, you'll need to be 'unflappable' and keep your eyes peeled and your ears pricked. Make sure to pick up your Duck Detective Case File to help you along the way.

Once you've revealed nature's hidden secrets on the trail, put your new found detective skills to the test and discover more about Slimbridge's wonderful wetlands with activities such as pond dipping and much more!

Did you know? Slimbridge have their own expert detectives that find nests and track birds in headstarting projects, and follow clues to monitor populations of animals such as water voles.

Share your discoveries with Slimbridge with the hashtag #WWTEaster or tag them via @wwtslimbridge
