That's the name of a project run by the RSPB with funding from Natural England.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, sees a conference at Leicester University that is so popular it has been oversubscribed. There are lots of reedbed managers out there who are eager to get their reedbeds buzzing, crawling, slithering and fluttering with life - in fact booming!
Once reedbeds were common throughout the UK but today if all UK reedbeds were gathered together they would cover an area only slightly larger than the London Borough of Ealing. A report published last year stated that out of 20 key sites, 12 were under imminent threat due to sea level rise caused by climate change.
Reedbed recreation has been a great success at many sites - including the RSPB inland nature reserves at Ham Wall and Lakenheath. And the RSPB manages big reedbeds at Minsmere, Leighton Moss and Blacktoft Sands.
But we had good news from the reedbed at Radipole too this year. Otters were caught on camera at night and have been seen by our wardens too. We even think they may have bred at this site which is surrounded by Weymouth!
Assistant Warden, Nick Quintrell, describes his latest encounter: 'I was initially curious when I saw a swirl of water beneath one of our bridges so I back tracked a few yards and saw a beautiful adult otter swimming on the surface before it dived and headed up stream.
'I followed and about 50 yards away through some reeds and in the half-light I could just make out some flashes of blue moving along the far bank. After a few seconds when my eyes adjusted to the gloom, I realised I was watching a black football with bright blue flashes being propelled across the river by the otter! I couldn't quite believe it was happening.
'I was describing events to a colleague on the phone when I told him I had to go as a second, seemingly smaller otter was coming straight towards me. It was no more than two metres away when it turned and dived into the water.
'It was amazing. I just felt overwhelming excitement and incredibly privileged'
And that's the type of experience we want more wardens and more of the public to have! Nature is wonderful - and sometimes it needs a bit of a helping hand. And that's what our nature reserves are there to do - and that's what Tuesday's conference is all about too.
Yes Mark I think Otters are probably now over most of the country but unfortunately in England only mobile usually in the dark as opposed to Mull where they can be seen regularly in the day time.Seems perhaps one rogue otter here in North Dorset causing problems by just killing all fish in garden ponds and only eating small part of each one and it seems he avoids efforts to stop him/her and seems to cover a large area unless of course more than one.
