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.

Not the best of weather today, not that it's putting off the huge numbers (2000+) of Black-tailed Godwit we have on the reserve at the moment. Good numbers of Lapwing with 500+ present, also 15+ Ruff, 10+ Snipe, Wood Sandpiper, Green Sandpiper.

Peregrine, 2 Marsh Harrier, 3+ Buzzard, 2 Kestrel and Sparrowhawk.

The Long-tailed Tit flock (15+) contains quite a few Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler at present.

Barn Owl showing well perched on the Nature Trail this afternoon.
