Thanks Mike, That’s Good News!  I’m not much of a follower of ‘Social Media’  So I don’t see half of what’s posted!

SWT website says: “UPDATE: Please note that the hide, car park and adjoining track will be closed to all visitors until Monday 16th November 2026 for completion of major project works.”

Hi Alison,
A fairly strong Rumour has it that the NEW Catcott Hide will open around 16th / 17th of this month. BUT so far I haven’t seen anything posted by S.W.Trust. Hope we will get positive news in the next week or so.

From the   South Hide yesterday afternoon,  a lot more water now and the island and other vegetation on the scrape in front of the   hide has been cut giving better views.  Ducks are beginning to arrive, small numbers of Wigeon, Teal and Shoveller as well as plenty of Mallard and Canada & Greylag Geese,  Lapwing flock of about 40, 2 or 3 Snipe put up by a Marsh Harrier, Fieldfare and a few Redwing along the drove.  Hopefully the new hide will open soon , it looks almost ready.
