‘Winter birdwatching at Tophill Low. This is a reserve based around two reservoirs but also includes marshes and pools. It is a good site for ducks, grebes, kingfisher and maybe even an otter’.
The reserve has toilets. There is no cafe so bring pack up! All access is on paths although some can be muddy.
Entrance fee is £3.50 per person (bring cash as I cannot remember if it accepts cards).
The reserve is all on the flat and most watching is from hides. Bring binoculars (and telescopes if you have them).
It is a large site but you can just cherry pick the nearby bits for those of us less mobile.

There is no limit on numbers but if you could let Rob Stark know if you are coming it makes it easier on the day to manage. If you can offer a lift or need a lift please let Rob know and we will try to match everyone up.’
