Power restored and lots of water

We were unable to open the Visitor Centre on Christmas Eve or the 27th December due to no electricity, much to our disappointment and the disappointment of the people who made the effort to visit us. The reserve was open but care was needed due to fallen trees and very high water levels that left some of our nature trail under water. The good news for us and I am sure to the relief of our neighbours that power is restored and the water levels are receding. Although some of the footpaths will still be not fully accessible there is still plenty to see. The Shoveler and Pintail are enjoying the extra water and there a lots of Redwing , Fieldfare and Thrushes around, who knows what else will turn up. Well worth a visit
