At 2pm the sea ducks at Arundel Wetland Centre show off their diving skills as they chase after treats at the diving duck fish feed. The water gives views of the scoter ducks and harlequin ducks competing for fish.

A wetlands stroll also gives views of the South Downs and an opportunity to see wildlife up close at the hand feeding bay.

Visiting the wildlife hides will reveal snipe, wintering shelducks, vibrant firecrests and the marsh harriers coming into roost over the reedbed in the late afternoon.
