Latest Sightings - 7th January - Fog! and lanterns...
Very poor visibility this morning as the reserve is covered by thick fog. Although it has started to lift in the last few minutes.
We have our lantern making workshop on today, if you would like to make a dragonfly lantern for the Big Burn's Supper lantern parade come down between 10am - 4pm to make one! It takes a few hours to make one, so please come early. This is a free event, but if you would like to visit the reserve as well then normal admission prices apply.
