Neagh is Britain's biggest area of freshwater at 20 miles long and 12 miles wide. This
large expanse of water is ice free during winter making it a number one holiday
destination for wintering birds escaping the Arctic wastes of Greenland, Iceland
and Norway. | | | Waterways are a great place to see wildlife from a very
different perspective. Why not get out on the water to watch it?
| | | - Our waterways provide great opportunities for wildlife
watching. Why not take a few tips from the TV team?
