Observation Badger Sett - Temporary Closed Due to Cubs!
We are thrilled to report that our female badger has very recently given birth to cubs.
To give her the peace and privacy to care for them in their early weeks, we have temporarily closed our Observation Badger Sett. The sett will reopen when the cubs are a little older.
You may still see badgers out in their enclosure late in the day when they are most active.
Owl Photography Afternoon Dates
Our Owl Photography Afternoon dates are now available to book. These events will feature a variety of perched owls in a woodland setting out on our nature reserve. We hope the dates will coincide with blossoming bluebells to provide a beautiful spring backdrop.
