The current freezing weather has meant we've had to temporarily close our Lakesdie Hide. We've done this for two reasons; 1) The lake in front of the hide and around our island is frozen and there is very little sign of life; 2) We would not like to inflict this cold weather on anyone who volunteers to be one of our Guides-in-a-Hide!

Along with other RSPB reserves we are keeping a close eye on the weather conditions but although our hide is closed the rest of the reserve looks very picturesque dressed in white. So wrap up warm and come along and enjoy the scenery!

P.S. Don't forget to keep feeding your garden birds in this cold spell.

See you on the reserves,

Best regards,

Chris Edwards
