Wonderful Wetland

6 December 2019

Anyone coming from Annan or Carlisle, the bridge at Brow Well is now OPEN!

You should be able to access the reserve as normal from now on.

As of yesterday our new network is up and running which should allow us to do more regular sightings updates, and we hope to have our webcams back on the website next week.

The Corner Field is fantastic this morning, the wet flashes full of Barnacle Geese, Teal, Wigeon, Pintail, Lapwing and Curlew!
