Visited midweek, early morning. No one on site, a few different paths to take on flat ground.

Great place to photograph wildlife. Two great hides to use. Plenty of car parking space. Not many birds there today. Hides are very well kept and are always clean.

Beautiful place! Shame about all the fishermen that are about but otherwise such a beautiful place and worth a visit!

A great place for fishing, but not as good for nature watching. We visited Sunday afternoon, and it was quiet busy with fishermen, but not much wildlife. A midweek visit may be better.
