Note, Maer Lake: The new bird hide is scheduled to be installed at the reserve this week. While every effort will be made to avoid causing disturbance within the reserve a degree of disturbance will unfortunately be unavoidable, apologies in advance. Anyone wishing to assist with hide construction would be most welcome to join us from 10am on Tuesday 9th or Wednesday 10th September. A work party will be travelling from west Cornwall to assist construction on 10th September. Many thanks, Adrian Lea.
