*Lift to the reserve is currently out of operation, leaving stairs as the only access* Join us every Tuesday to gander and marvel at the variety of moth species that we collect as part of our Moth Survey (members can access the reserve from as early as 07:00) Join us every Saturday when we are open later (9:30 - 19:00) and watch the birds begin to roost as the sun sets.
