I went there today, this thread made me curious to see what it was like at the moment.
For once the cafe was open! (Until 2pm) The Visitor Centre is really nothing much to shout about, it's more of a staff centre!
Excellent pathways throughout, it's a good site for anyone in a whelechair, most paths and hides have easy access.
Waterbird numbers were very low. They've got an impressive sightings list, but we saw none of them! Just about managed to see a few Mallards, Coots,Swans a couple of Little Grebe's that are supposed to have a yougster, but it was well hidden today. That was about it!
We did see some Dragonflies, Damselflies, Darters etc. I've put a few shots from there into the Gallery. We also saw a good variety of Fungi, if your interested.
I think the site will be much better once the tree leaves have fallen and the weeds and rushes have died back. I remember last year being very impressed with the list of birds we saw there in Autumn.
Let's just say that I paid for a years membership whilst I was there!
