Well that's Christmas over and hopefully you all had a good one. Lots of people have been walking off their Christmas lunches over the last few days and have been popping in to the Visitor Centre to take advantage of the bargains in our sale. But the mid-winter feast isn't over just yet. It's been traditional at Radipole for us to keep a list of all our visitors New Years Day sightings, not just on the Weymouth Wetlands but from around Dorset. In years gone by we have usually exceeded over 100 species, and it would be nice to beat that this year. As an added incentive you can get a hot soup and roll for a small donation at the V.C this year, which will help warm you up after your walk. The centre will be open between 10 am and 3 pm. Even if you can't make it in on the day, due to hang-overs etc, you could give us a ring (01305 778313) to report what you've seen and to help bump the day's list up.
Next year will see some big changes at Radipole, so watch this space, but for now it just remains for me to wish you all a Happy New Year from all the staff and volunteers at Weymouth Wetlands.
A happy and prosperous New Year to one and all.
Seize the day!
