No access to saline lagoon 27/08/25 only

A small section of our outer circuit will be closed all day on Wed 27 August whilst we conduct some emergency repairs on our visitor access gate. This means that Lagoon View Hide, the Lookout and river viewpoint will be inaccessible . Hawthorn Wood Hide remains accessible via the path past the reservoir. There may be some distant noise created by these works which might be heard from this hide only.

Beautiful brambling and barn owl

Beautiful brambling and barn owl

The first brambling of the autumn, a female, was noted in Hawthorn Wood this morning, feeding with the regular flock of chaffinch.

I was also treated to great views of a barn owl flying low along the river footpath. It seems the recent heavy rain has encouraged the owl to start sheltering in the hides at Wader Lake on an evening.

Fieldfare were moving across site today, mainly heading west.
