The Visitor Centre closed temporarily in January 2012 as the RSPB is embarking on a programme of improvements to help people to connect with nature. The reserve is still open however and events are being held such as pond dipping and guided walks. To find out about events please visit the website at
www.rspb.org.uk/events .
The new Visitor Centre will be officially opened in May 2012 and will contain new features including a media wall with live nest cams and footage from underwater cameras and remote night cameras, indoor seating, visitor toilets and catering for hot and cold drinks and food.
A new Family Trail will also be open from May to complement the duck-feeding and pond-dipping platforms already in place. It will include boardwalk trails, viewing platforms, some of them raised to give bird's eye views into otherwise hidden areas of reedbeds, ditches and open water. There will also be a storytelling and general recreation/picnic area.
