I was on holiday for most of the bank holiday but I am pleased to say that we had a fantastic few days with over 3300 visitors. Everyone really seemed to enjoy the reptiles and the birds of prey and I have had some lovely emails as well as posts on twitter.  It is always great to get feedback from events and to hear great comments, esepcially after such a wet Easter holiday.

The play area construction is well underway now and there are some pictures on the following link: http://www.wwt.org.uk/visit-us/martin-mere/things-to-see-and-do/development-updates/

We are still on course for the 2 June to open the play area and it is certainly an exciting time. We have done very well for membership lately and I think a lot of it is because of what you can now see in the play area as it makes sense to visit us again in a few weeks when we will be opening it.
