Yesterday we welcomed our new Visitor Officers to Sandwell; Hannah Williams and Nicky Willner will be working one day each during the work but more importantly they will be covering the reserve at weekends.
Both of them have extensive experience with meeting and greeting the public and Hannah has previously worked at other RSPB reserves. They are very enthusiastic about their new roles and can't wait until this coming weekend when we attend the Hamstead Library Christmas Fayre as well as the Holiday wildlife Club Christmas Party!!
I'm sure they will settle in very well and be able to provide a suitable welcome to our many visitors to Sandwell valley.
P.S. Whilst taking them around the reserve for a conducted tour, we saw a little egret fly overhead - what a lucky omen!
See you on the reserves,
Best regards,
Chris Edwards
a warm welcome to our new vistor officers,may be down to the reserve this weekend or next so hope to meet you
