Visitor Centre and Reserve Closed
The centre and reserve will be closed for the remainder of the day (Friday 20/09/24) due to no running water on site resulting from a burst water main. Open as normal from 9.00am on Saturday 21/09/24.
Marsh harrier with tags spotted
Marsh harriers are seen regularly on our reserve as their favourite hunting grounds are wetlands and reedbeds. A closer look at this individual revealed that it was tagged on the wing, which means there is a history to be found.
No.34, as she is currently known, was tagged by the Hawk and Owl Trust near Fakenham, Norfolk, in June this summer. She was one of three chicks, another female and a male which were also tagged. Our reserve is a popular site with tagged marsh harriers, previously reporting five individuals in the last few years :-)
Thanks to regular visitor, John Cheney, for the photo below.
