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.
On the Mere black-headed gulls have started nesting on the islands and banks. Also, sand martins can be seen catching insects over head. A great white egret has been spotted on Plover Field. On the canoe safari a wood warbler has been spotted singing in the trees.
