We would like to remind people that the reserve, woodland trail and hide are closed to the public.

With regards to our regular breeding pair of ospreys, rest assured that despite the current situation the nest will continue to be monitored around the clock throughout the season.

With around 300 breeding pairs of ospreys in the UK, ospreys are still recovering in numbers from near extinction and years of persecution, and as such as are now a legally protected ‘Schedule 1 Species’. Any disturbance to them during the breeding season, including during the current nest building period is a criminal offence, and can jeopardise the birds’ ability to settle on a nesting territory, produce and raise young

We will keep you updated through our main webpage, blogs and social media pages.
