SiInformazioni aggiuntive
PLEASE NOTE, whilst entry to the 2 bird hides is FREE, the often muddy/wet footpath is unsuitable for wheelchairs and those with reduced mobility, also both hides have steps to gain access and fairly narrow doors. This out of the way and often unvisited site is a bit of a 'local gem' and is now mostly visited by local birders only.
ALSO NOTE, the bird hides have fixed seating, making it difficult to use a telescope with tripod, I advise bringing a hide clamp if possible.
