Hi All, 

As we did last year we will be closing the hide at Swell Wood to allow the herons some space to establish territories and build nests without disturbance. Hopefully like last year this will encourage many of the herons to set up close to the hide providing everyone who visits with a great spectacle. The hide will be closed from 1 February and should be open by 1 March at the latest. So keep an eye out for an update about the hide reopening so you can enjoy this fantastic spectacle. 

Thank you for your understanding and sorry for any inconvenience caused. For more information please contact swell.wood@rspb.org.uk
