What glorious weather for an October half-term - just the weather to bring the family out here to enjoy a couple of hours playing at Nature Detective!

As part of the BBC's Live 'n' Deadly project, we've been chosen to host a Deadly Scene Investigation event and we had no idea how popular it would be. Over 100 children have been here this week so far and everyone has enjoyed tracking down the culprit of the dastardly nature crime committed on the reserve. Great fun! The fun continues all week.

Almost unnoticed amidst all the fun was the appearance of a female hen harrier across and around the reserve, including a fly past over the play meadow.

See you on the reserves,

Best regards,

Chris Edwards
