Sunday 1st November

A bit bleak today.

Four pairs of fast runners, one of which barged a couple of pensioners off the path.

Sunday 25th October. Fallen tree info

Two trees down blocking the western path and one low hanging, pics and w3w below.  Phoned into Tom Graham.  The northern most one had fallen from the park and the tree surgeons were removing it as I left

Sat 24th

 

How DNS has changed since all the rain. Puddles and little ponds all over the place. Remarkable habitat. The 6 cows were lying down near the gate to RCM. The four ponies were grazing in the middle of RCM.

The A34 three were close to the electric fence. Checked fence working

The 16 no collars were in the upper part of ME hay meadow.

The 12 in Lower Five were just standing around looking.

Traps empty.

Saw three little grebes, a great spotted woodpecker, and large flocks of wood pigeons.


Trees down Saturday 24th

Three small willows over the path near the lower bridge and a larger one across Red Hole stream path. Long boardwalk and upper loop accessible.  Cleared litter at Durngate. Sent pics to Sam
