Just a brief little message from me to let you know that our shop will be shutting at 3 pm this coming Wednesday so that staff and volunteers can complete a stock take. The nature trails, cafe and toilets will remain open as normal.
Our volunteer work party will be undertaking repair work to fences close to West Mead hide tomorrow (Tuesday) which will cause some disturbance in this area, however there should still be plenty to see on the North Brooks or on our wooded heathland trail. There may be further disturbance around the nature reserve on Thursday morning. Both regular habitat management work preparing for the breeding season, and repair work resulting from the winter's extensive floods will result in some disturbance over the coming weeks, but we will try and keep you up to date on our efforts.
One little piece of wildlife news... our first little ringed plovers of the year were seen today (2 of them!). Who will spot our first sand martin - should be any day now...
