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.

Cetti's warblers are still calling on the reedbed walk, listen out for their distinctive sound near bramble patches. A little egret and a little grebe were seen at Ron Barker earlier in the week.

Marsh harriers and barn owls continue to show very well throughout the reserve.
