Please Note: Due to the essential maintenance work carried out last week in front of the British Steel Hide, the water levels in the two lagoons will remain very low until the next set of spring tides around the 7th of May. The birds are still around and can be seen from the British Steel hide either on the saline lagoons, behind on the NRA scrape, or from the Sir Peter Scott or Heron's Wing Hide.
Thank you for your patience and understanding,
The Reserve Team
