Reserve now open. Thanks to Alan for his help. Clearing up will happen on Friday. This has opened the area up nicely for butterflies next summer.

26/10/2026

There are a few big branches down at the entrance. These will be cleared as soon as we are able. In the meantime please do not use the main entrance. Use the public footpaths marked on your Ordnance Survey map from Glemsford and Liston. The car park and toilet will be closed until the trees are cleared. Thanks for your co-operation.

Last night's Bats Alive!! evening was a great success. Daubentons and Pipistrelles were seen and heard hunting over the river in good numbers. The icing or bat on the cake was a Barbastelle which whizzed past the ear of Graham Hart our expert bat man from Essex Bat Group. This is a rare bat associated with water Meadows and a fondness for micro moths.
