Spooky spectres appear on nature reserve

Each year the RSPB staff at The Lodge in Sandy entertain children by providing them with spooky Halloween activities.

This year the terror and fun took place ahead on Saturday (October 29) ahead of the main spine-chilling date.

Youngsters discovered the fun of pumpkin carving and bobbing for apples.

They also had their faces stylishly painted in scary designs. Children who went along in fancy dress were entered into a competition to find the best dressed spectre.

Mark Brandon, visitor and publicity officer, said that the event went well. He added: “It’s always a popular one and we always seem to have a sunny day!”
