Hi Emma, yes we think so! We're still open and the birds are sometimes easier to see at this time of year because they rely on the feeders. We don't have pond dipping at this time of year, but there are some small tanks in the visitor centre and our harvest mice to see there too. We have a cafe with hot drinks and cakes and lots of bird supplies and also some Christmas stock available too. It depends what you're after, but it's a lovely walk around the reserve and you can link up with footpaths and stroll along the canal too. Hope that helps. *sorry for the delay in getting back to you - we've had some technical issues.
