May wander down for a last bit of fresh air on Christmas Eve. Is the reserve open?
Thanks.
Ant

Reserve opening times, on this site, say everyday except Christmas Day, hopefully someone on the staff will confirm this is the case this year

Hi Ant,
We are open every day except Christmas Day, but we will have reduced hours with the centre open 10am - 4pm on Christmas Eve, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, rather than our normal 9am - 5pm.
See you on Christmas Eve,
Hana
That's what I wanted to hear .. thanks Hana!
No idea which staff person you are, but you could do the same as Gideon and say "Are you Ponty Cyclops?" to every 6ft 4" beardy person who comes in on Christmas Eve until you strike lucky!
If I don't make it due to snow/ last minute panic .. then have a nice Christmas!
Haha! Yes I will. Though in return you could always ask every staff member if they're Hana!
Merry Xmas if I don't see you though,
Today I understand why the geese were deserting on Saturday morning. Weather permitting I'll try driving over before Thursday.

Someone has reported Waxwings at Newport Wetlands to the Bird Guides map again today.
Have you a link for that Ant?
Many reports about close viewings of the bittern down the Wetlands - mainly by the
area near the viewing panels
Whoever it is, is braver than me to go out in this weather.
