	RSPB East Anglia Region Media Release 18 August 2003
		The Ouse Washes are a 19 mile (30 km) stretch of seasonally flooded wet grassland between Denver and Earith, intersected by ditches which are noted for their aquatic flora and invertebrates.
		Constructed during the 17th century, the primary function of the Ouse Washes is a winter flood storage reservoir for the waters of the River Ouse.
		The Washes have one of the largest populations of breeding waders in lowland England, especially snipe, redshank, lapwing and the scarce fl-tailed godwit.

		WWT Welney is one of nine wildfowl and wetland reserves managed by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust The reserve is at Welney in Cambridgeshire, England, 12 miles north of Ely, 26 miles north of Cambridge and 33 miles east of Peterborough.
		The rivers were built by the 4th Earl of Bedford to facilitate drainage of the Great Ouse between Earith and Downham Market, and the "washes" (the area between the two rivers) are completely flooded for an average of 22 days per year, necessitating a 30 mile detour for local residents.
		The area is also the site of RSPB Ouse Washes; it is a Ramsar site, a Special Protection Area (SPA) and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC), as well as the Ouse Washes SSSI - a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

		The Ouse Washes were too wet and the Nene Washes too dry, says the RSPB reporting on a mixed season for breeding birds on its fenland nature reserves in Cambridgeshire.
		Spring floods are an all-too regular problem for nesting wading birds on the Ouse Washes and the worst was expected when the floodwaters failed to clear in April this year.
		Final numbers on the RSPB's Ouse Washes nature reserve were 173 pairs of lapwings, 140 pairs of redshanks and 207 of snipe, totalling 520 pairs of these waders.

		Made up of seasonally flooded lowland wet grassland, the Ouse Washes are the perfect breeding ground for hundreds of different species of waders and wildfowl including one of the UK’s rarest breeding birds, the Black-Tailed Godwit.
		For RSPB stock manager Jon Reeves ATV’s provided the only realistic way in which his team of eight staff could cover the 1046 hectares of grassland, to carry out the shepherding and ensure the welfare of the cattle.

		Over the years, the godwit population on the whole of the Ouse Washes has declined, with a peak of 65 in the early 1970s dropping to just five in 2004.
		Farmers and the RSPB have already boosted valuable fenland populations of the scarce tree sparrow, and better prospects for other farmland birds such as skylarks, turtle doves and reed buntings are a target.
		The management of the Ouse Washes has altered little over the past 352 years, and the RSPB hopes this will be similar in 40 years time.

	Ramsar Advisory Missions: No. 49, Ouse Washes, United Kingdom (2001)
		The Ouse Washes are designed as a flood storage reservoir coming within the ambit of the Reservoirs Act 1975 and act as a safety valve for flood waters in the Great Ouse catchment.
		With normal flow conditions, the Ouse discharges through the Hundred Foot river to the Tidal river and then to the Wash. When discharge is high and a preset level at Earith is exceeded, the Ouse Washes are used as a retention area, storing the water surplus.
		The problems in the Ouse Washes are quite broad: the incidence of summer flooding, the deterioration of the water quality, as well as the loss of valuable habitat for breeding waders and grazing opportunities in summer.

	Pymoor - Ouse Washes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		The Ouse Washes is the name of the area of land between the Old and New Bedford Rivers.
		The two artificial "rivers" were cut between 1630 and 1650 to drain the swampy land through which the Great Ouse flowed on its way to its outfall in the Wash. These days this land, some 20,000 acres is managed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
		This helps to keep it in an ideal state for the birds in winter, and is why it is the RSPB who pays for the "shepherd", who looks after the cows who are brought here for summer grazing from as far away as Wales.

		Actually, the rain was not too troublesome as we had only to brave it while walking between hides, most of the viewing being done from their shelter.
		After lunch, we were ready to move further along the Washes to the WWT reserve at Welney - only about six miles away to the northeast as the crow flies, but on the opposite bank.
		The first attraction at Welney was a feeding station for passerines and those remaining near the car park to keep an eye on this were soon rewarded when a brambling appeared among the more usual finches and tits.

		The RSPB Reserve at Welches Dam offers the comfort of birding from (several) hides but the washes can be viewed along their entire length via footpaths along the banks that mark the eastern and western boundaries.
		It would be fair to say that conditions on the washes are something of a lottery and the quality of birding varies accordingly.
