Hide closure: Sunday 9 November

No access to Ron Barker, Hale and Mere View Hides
Unfortunately, we have had a recent case of avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu, in our collection birds. To prevent further spread of the disease, we are putting in place some additional protection measures, which includes testing the birds in our duckery. To allow our teams the time and space to do this, we’ve temporarily closed this part of the wetland reserve and will reopen on Monday 10 November.

A big thank you to Preston Benefit Centre

We would like to say a big thank you to Preston Benefit Centre, part of the Department for Work and Pensions' who undertook a fundraising week for us and raised a fantastic £509.60. Activities included guess the weight of the cake (a brilliant cake with our logo, reeds, water and a swan on it), guess the number of sweets in a jar, a bring and buy recycling sale and a tombola.

This is a fantastic amount of money and we are very grateful for your contribution.
