Latest Sightings - 11th December
The roads are all open, but still some water around on the reserve. Wellies are needed to get to the Avenue Tower.
It's still mild and a lot of birds are making use of the new feeding areas in flooded fields in the local area. Keep your eyes peeled for flocks of Whooper Swans on your way here.
