Birding Tring Reservoirs: DRAYTON BANK TEMPORARY HIDE CLOSURE

Sunday, 1 February 2009

DRAYTON BANK TEMPORARY HIDE CLOSURE

I wanted to let you know that I have had to close the hide at Wilstone Reservoir today as someone had put their foot through one of the planks in the boardwalk and on repair I found that a few of the main support beams are rotten. I have put posters up at the hide, at the top of the path that leads to the hide and in the car park and the entrance to the hide has been taped up. We are hopefully going to have it repaired next week but I will keep everyone posted once I know the details and update the posters on site to let visitors know.

Regards
