Nene Washes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nene Washes are a Special Protection Area along the River Nene in the English county of Cambridgeshire.

They extend for around 21 km east of the City of Peterborough and covers more than 15 square kilometres.

The washes are significant for their over-wintering populations of Bewick’s swan (Cygnus columbianus bewickii) and Pintail (Anas acuta).
