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.
Mostly wet this morning so a limited number of reports. Three Marsh Harrier present today, at least 3 Common Buzzard and Sparrowhawk.
Waders included a juvenile Little Ringed Plover, 2 Green Sandpiper, Dunlin, 2 Ruff, 10+ Common Snipe.
A juvenile Water Rail from the Ron Barker Hide.
