Out early to try to miss worst of heat. With a few runners and sedge warblers. Snipped a tiny bit of growth but, of course, it's moving fast right now. No litter

If you are entering or leaving via NML be prepared to clamber!
Overheard the canoeists saying they didn't know where to turn around now that the rope has been taken down.
A few walkers. Too hot for runners.

The ash and willow that was blocking the popular swimming spot by the top of the loop on no mans land has been moved sadly and a rope swing has been made. Will make sure this gets put back and the swing removed.
Muggy Saturday

Very quiet this morning. 5 cygnets with parents guarding them as they snooze on the bank by the pond junction. Lost track of time watching a mallard keeping a watch over her 6 ducklings on the pond!
Tree branches still in place at the northern end. Marsh thistles in full bloom along with some purple loosestrife.
