Unfortunately following a theft last night the automatic gate that controls entry to the reserve car park is out of action at the moment. The gate will be opened manually by staff members and volunteers, but this means we can only guarantee daily reserve opening times of 9am-5pm. As before though, the exit to the car park is usable at any time of day. The theft involved a large solar panel being taken, it has RSPB painted on it and also cut into the glass in large letters. We will be thinking through how to deal with the situation (its the second time its happened) and so in the meantime please accept our apologies for any disruption caused to your planned visiting time.
