Wet Monday

 couple of runners and met a couple of walkers I know. The only litter was a wipe at the top bench in Swimming Pool Meadow - from presumably the invisible visitor! Saw a deer in the reeds on the way to the Pond. Plenty of swan faeces and feathers by the rails to Nomansland. Water slowly rising at 36.98. More rain than Harestock records. 2.1mm last 6 hours, 4.5 last 24 but none in last hour, well I know that's wrong, It was heaving down when I finished!

Nothing new to report on the boardwalks

Saturday I met the man who installed the monitoring kit in the area. Interesting chat.

Saturday 5th October - Warden

Another lovely day on site today eith lots of birds about. I've strimmed the front entrance at durngate and leaf blown the paths, although the leaves are falling so fast you wouldn't think so. 

Saturday 5th October

Such a beautiful autumnal morning, with nothing to report apart from litter at the paddling stream, and nice chats with visitors. Many asking about the reopening of the top path. Still aware of the increase in small groups of runners. 

Sunday 5th October

  

Quiet (apart from Charlotte's strimmer).  One bird watcher, a few runners.

Boardwalk needs some attention:

renovated.active.mondays (I assume you will be actively renovating this one on a Monday)

digests.clasps.screamed (this one is a bit Agatha Christie)

cornering.legend.relished   (Stirling Moss)

Friday 4th October - Warden

It's been a really nice day on Winnall. I've cut down a dead branch that's been getting lower and lower across the path. 

It was quiet this morning on site but busier this afternoon. Lots of birds about today including a very large family of long tailed tits, Song thrushes, Robins and Wrens. Lots of Commom darters at the pond to. 

I had a very nice couple have a chat about the site with me this afternoon to. 

The Roe doe was laying in SPM this morning 
I forgot my camera so improvised with a phone and binoculars

Thursday 3rd - boardwalk issues

Quiet in the South, minimal litter. 

New boardwalk issues:

At https://w3w.co/covertly.tasteful.tractor (where does What3Words get them from?) a trip hazard is resulting from a dropped lateral support (photos 1 and 2)

At ///registry.renewals.dentistry and ///attend.formation.charts stringers have broken, although the boards above look OK (photos 3 and 4).

water level today

 interesting dip of 50cm this morning. I wonder if there was maintenance or testing going on. there's a corresponding rise of 20cm at City Mill at the same time
