Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas.
The reserve will remain open through the Christmas period, but please remember that the carpark may be slippery. Some areas have been cleared so that there is minimal ice (close to the gates) and there is a safe path from here to the reserve trails, so please take care.
The loch, however, is still frozen, with very few water birds to be seen. The woodland was busy with bullfinch, siskin, robin, great tit, blue tit and chaffinch today though, and there were a few reed bunting around.
Best wishes for the New Year
