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.

Take part in Sport Relief

Martin Mere is a location for the Sainsbury's Sport Relief fun run on Sunday 25 March.  You can do either a 1, 3 or 6 mile run on the day to raise money for Comic Relief.  The run itself is going to start on the community reedbed walk and come back around the back of the walk so that it is a circular loop. 

We were contacted by Comic Relief to see if we would be a location and we thought that it would be a nice thing to do in the local community. I won't be takingpart myself but I will certainly be there to cheer everyone on.

In other news, it was a lovely afternoon with Philippa James but I don'think I impressed anyone with my cooking skills - the picture is the dish I made which was a parma ham salad with a beetroot dressing. BBC Radio Lancashire were here interviewing people and they also seemed to enjoy the afternoon.
