Wednesday 13th November - yellow notices

 Surprised only to see one person walking round as such a beautiful autumn morning for once!

The bright yellow closure notices regarding entry to North Walls are still on the both entrance gates following the fireworks last Saturday. Unfortunately we didn't have any scissors with us to cut the plastic ties. Perhaps someone could do that.

Very small amount of litter apart from 3 beer cans and an empty pack of cocktail sausages at Durngate bench. Had a pleasant chat with a young lad fishing nearby and pointing out that he was standing in a nature reserve. The usual reply that he was unaware, apologised and packed up. Probably back again now!

Sorry I won’t be able to check the South on Thursday 14th

What's that big yellow thing in the sky????

 uneventful round. Saw no one, no litter. Just 1 young moorhen on the move and a bit of song in the trees, Fungi doing their thing. Tiny bit of rain overnight - more like low cloud. Durngate at 37.12 down a little but not much. Everything else secure and no fallout from fireworks.

Sunday 10th November

 No-one around at 8am.  And no fireworks related detritus. One bulrush.

clear run

 no litter, Thanks Lynne. 3 runners and I walked round having a chat with a lady who volunteers elsewhere and at Hyde Gardens. Nice and clear, a few more birds than usual. Fairly dry, little rain overnight believe it or not. Water was steady this morning, now reported as rising!

I hadn't noticed, it was pointed out to me there were no path closed signs. I will try to remedy that.

Sunday 3rd November

 

A few people about including one runner.

Lots of litter including an empty rum bottle in the stream by the sluice; pumpkin, sweetcorn and half a melon on the side of the path to the pond.

Friday 1st November

Nice and quiet on site today, the only people I saw were two teens fishing on site who I asked to stop fishing so they left. A little bit of litter by the bench at durngate but other wise all okay. 

Kingfisher and little grebe by the bench at the top of the board walk today as well which was a nice suprise.
