The opening of the Lakeside Hide every weekend has meant a return to the norm after our recent traumas. From 10.30am through to 3.30pm the hide is open to all visitors every Saturday and Sunday. We have established a rota system whereby a staff member and at least 2 volunteers are available to help with bird identification and general wildlife enquiries. In fact the hide seems to be a trove of information about all manner of items, most of which is nature related!!
Last weekend we witnessed the courting dance of a pair of great crested grebes within yards of the hide and to cap it all we welcomed our first lapwing chick of the year - baby and parents are said to be doing fine! What better way to spend some time sitting amongst like minded folk observing at close hand the wonders of nature.
See you on the reserves,
Best regards,
Chris Edwards
