Absolutely love it here. Lots of walking routes to pick from so even when it's busy it doesn't feel crowded. So many birds, it's a must for anyone interested in birdwatching. The visitor centre has friendly and helpful people to help you and the cafe is lovely.

Fabulous place for birdwatching and we had great views of the Lesser Yellowlegs. The volunteers on the meet and greet were brilliant and helpful to new visitors and people new to birdwatching. We had a very interesting chat with the volunteer as we left, a lot about Peregrine falcons as well as other things. Hopefully back later during the winter.

Visited on New year's Day 2024. Very busy, but weather good . Had a lovely walk around the reserve watching thousands of birds. Brilliant site with helpful wardens. The new cafe is superb with a good selection of hot food drinks, cakes and sandwiches. All cakes are homemade, the scones are delicious. Cakes vary in price from £2.50 to £4.50, the cheese and fruit scones were £2.95. See photos (taken 1/Jan/2024) of menus for other prices. Entry for adults including parking is £3.

A good nature reserve but it lacks any signs on the main approach roads, this would have improved our visit. The new café is very nice with big windows so you can view the wildlife on the reserve whilst having a drink or food. The noisy chiller unit was a bit off putting. Was given a map of the reserve and there seemed to be a few different walks that you could do. We only walked around to the 360 hide which was very busy with people bird watching and found it hard to view from if you couldn't sit down, it would be improved dramatically if you could view from windows if you are standing up! We will try to visit again when it's not so busy so we get a chance to see things.

Loved every minute of our visit. Staff friendly and helpful. Birds did not disappoint. First hide had twenty Spoonbills, black winged stilt and young, ruff and sandpipers.

A nice reserve for bird watchers. Three hides are present for bird watching and photography. My favourite hide is 360°. Onsite toilet facility and car parking available. A well maintained reserve.

As a member of the rspb I try to visit different sites each month and just like all the sites I've visited it was worth the journey and membership. I arrived about 11am Sunday morning with the wife and 2 kids aged 7 and 8. We were warmly welcomed by the staff and given advice about the site. The facilities are nice and clean though we didn't use the café as we brought our own food since the kids are fussy eaters. The whole site seems well managed and no litter was seen on our walk. We didn't have time to do all the walks due to rain and high winds but plan on going back in a week. The bird hides are big with plenty of space and in good condition. The site offers disabled access and most of the site could be seen on a mobility scooter if you own one as I didn't see any for hire. We are looking forward to going back on a sunny weekend to finish all the site and I will probably return in the winter months if its too cold for the rest of the family. Well done to the rspb and its volunteers for a great family experience.

We took part in the RSBP Wild Camping experience this weekend. As a group we were well fed in the cafe, scrummy local food and cakes! My son and I had a great time and learnt plenty from the volunteers; Jack, Les, Andy and Sabine. Who ensured all 30 of us had the opportunity to catch bugs, spot different birds, and play in the sunflower field. The event was really well organised. The campfire listening to bats, star spotting and playing games simply topped the night. I highly recommend booking onto their next event.
