Construction work is ongoing to replace the old footbridge to the reserve. An alternative route is available, but the Heron's Wing and Peter Scott hides will be closed until the work is complete. We apologise for any inconvenience.

A range of ducks included 85 Wigeon, a Pintail and 40 Shoveler. Other birds seen included a Kingfisher, a Mediterranean Gull, 11 Little Egrets and two Grey Herons.
Millennium Wetland
A Kingfisher has been a frequent visitor to the perches in front of the Peter Scott Hide this week, and Snipe, Lapwing and Black-tailed Godwits have been seen on the Deep Water Lake as well. Worth keeping an eye out for Otters this coming week as we draw closer to winter they become more active and 'showy' around the hides and the screen in the woodland walk area.
