Good afternoon. Mere Hide has really been the place to be on the reserve recently so here are some pictures that have been taken from the hide:

Thank you very much to ken and Karen for sharing these great images with us.
You may not be surprised to hear that Mere Hide has been very busy recently. If you would like to try and get similar images to the ones shown above, we recommend either getting to the hide either early in the morning or in the evening. The reserve is open at all times so you can come and go as you please!
We hope to see you soon.
