Visiting Farmoor Reservoir

Thames Water have asked that we reiterate to visiting birders that the site is currently only open from 10am until 7pm. Unfortunately a small number of people have had to be asked to leave the site by Thames Water officials as they were there prior to the 10am opening time, also please refrain from parking in front of the main gates at any time.
