A few things might affect your visit over the next few week, so please bear with us while we improve the reserve for you and for wildlife:
Thursday 30th: we'll be giving the islands their annual 'haircut', to keep it suitable for wigeons and lapwings. This will be done at low tide, but there will inevitably be disturbance to the birds
Friday 1st: the shop will be open until 3 pm, then closed for stocktaking until Saturday morning. The coffee shop will be open as usual until 4.30 pm.
Monday/Tuesday 4th/5th: the main toilets will be closed while we replace the flooring. We hope that the mens' will be open on Tuesday morning and the ladies later that day. For the duration, please use the disabled toilet inside the coffee shop.
And now some bird news... The grey phalarope is still present today, and wigeon numbers are increasing slowly. Yesterday's wader reports include spotted redshank, 2 ruffs and a curlew sandpiper.
