Reasons To Be Cheerful!

Monday, December 21st 2020

Number 1: Today marks the Winter Solstice which means that from today the days will begin to slowly stretch out again. Summer is on its way!

2. The reserve is open everyday over the holiday period from 9.00am - dusk mid-week and from 10.00am - dusk on weekends. It is only closed on Christmas day, Boxing day and New Years Day! So grab your warm coats, wellies and a pencil and search for Edward the Elf along the Red Route to get some fresh air! Can you find all of the ingredients for his magic potion?! Spotter sheets are available from the Field Centre for only 50p. If you find Edward please take his photo and share it on our Facebook page.

3. The unruly Hebridean and Shetland sheep are where we left them on the wetland and haven't escaped or got tangled in brambles for two consecutive days!
