Our reserve team are working on Wader Lake today (Wednesday 27 November) which may cause disturbance to the wildlife in the area. Thank you for your patience.
Our reserve warden John and his team of dedicated volunteers have been working hard down at the amphibian ponds for the past few months, creating new habitat and revamping what was already there. Check out the fruits of their labour!

This is one of three hibernaculums that have been created to provide a place for amphibians to stay over winter.
This is the original amphibian pond. A further 10 have now been created around the area thanks to the hard work of John and his volunteers.
Great crested and smooth newts have both been found in this pond. You can't make them out in this photo but there were two newtlets visible on the day this was taken - honest!
The perfect place to sit and relax while watching the wild world go by.
