News & Events
The new hide, renamed Reedling Hide, is now open to all offering stunning views across the lagoon and reed beds.
Unfortunately, we will have to close Ousefleet hide temporarily for essential repairs. This is the best time to carry out the works minimising disturbance. This is likely to take around 2 weeks, sorry for any inconvenience.

Pull on your winter togs and join us for an exhilarating experience watching harriers leave their overnight roost.
