The cold and snowy weather has moved away and a thaw is now happening. As a result of the melting snow many of the pathways will have become muddy and possibly slippery. Please take care when walking around the reserve.

Many species of birds are struggling to find food and survive at the moment. Please could we kindly ask dog walkers to keep their dogs out of covered areas to allow the birds and other wildlife to find food etc. Thank you. With the lake covered in ice please could we ask dog walkers to keep their dogs on a lead, around this area.

Thank you.
