Hide closure: Sunday 9 November

No access to Ron Barker, Hale and Mere View Hides
Unfortunately, we have had a recent case of avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu, in our collection birds. To prevent further spread of the disease, we are putting in place some additional protection measures, which includes testing the birds in our duckery. To allow our teams the time and space to do this, we’ve temporarily closed this part of the wetland reserve and will reopen on Monday 10 November.

Budgets and meetings

Christmas is no time for me to relax, I have to get our budget forecast done for 2012 - 13 and I have a number of meetings with my manager and other directors. I had a busy two days last week with my manager going through so much at the centre. I do enjoy sitting down with him as it is a time for open discussion to talk about any concerns I have and I can get some great advice, but it is very tiring and I needed a couple of days at the weekend to relax.

I am off to Slimbridge on Thursday this week and I have a meeting with the WWT Training Manager today to discuss a full training programme for staff, so another busy week ahead.
