Hopes High For Wildlife Influx After Revamp (from The Northern Echo)

"WATER voles could make a welcome return along with birdlife thanks to
a facelift at a wetlands centre.

Recent redevelopment at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust's site in
Washington, Wearside, has resulted in what is described as, "a diverse
new wetlands vision".

In the £110,000 project, there have been changes to the ponds near the
site's waterside cafe, as well as to the reservoir and some of the
fenced-in collection areas.

They have been replaced by a stream, reed-bed, water vole habitat and
a Close Encounters feeding area, bringing visitors close to rare and
exotic water birds."
