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.
Basically all the birds seen yesterday have been seen again today! So the Wood Sandpiper is still performing well from the Ron Barker Hide, Hobby seen in the afternoon etc.
A Roe Deer was seen from the United Utilities Hide this afternoon.
See yesterday/previous days map and sightings for a fuller picture of what can be seen around the reserve.
A full days birding can produce over 70 species without too much difficulty.
