Bit brighter and dryer

 Fair bit of birdsong. No humans for a change. All in all rather pleasant

Saturday 16th February

Quiet and drizzly. Moderate litter. Friendly chats with regular visitors. Saw a pair of kingfishers near the River Park bridge, and these swans were very chilled.

Do these two yellow trugs by the lower bridge belong to the Trust? I could come back tomorrow and rehome them. Will ask Tom at the workday.

Thursday 13th - all OK in the South

Just a few folks, small amount of litter.

Two logs in the picnic area out of place, including the Lucy memorial plaque. Put them back in place, felt like adjusting Stonehenge.  The two yellow gardening tubs are still there, both with water and larvae in. If not something to do with the Trust (surveys?) we should nab them for work parties!

Wednesday 12th February

 Very quiet. Just met a lone jogger and had a chat with a visitor from New York enjoying photographing a pair of mallards and a robin. Heard  a Cettis warbler. 

A fair amount of litter at Durngate - beer cans and wine bottles thrown into the middle of the brambles and drug paraphernalia in the glade.

dreary day

 but at least it stopped raining (for now). Very little litter. Met my usual pair of Monday runners but no one else. Saw the remains of fire in the Glade. One log has been moved. 2 garden bags containing water by the wooden bridge at Swift's/canoe club. May not be so innocent. I saw some lads in North Walls last week collecting water for some unknown reason. Moles have been active on the pond path. Water high and fast but not dreadful. A little overflow in places. 37.2m and rising at Durngate. 7mm rain overnight.

Sunday 9th February

Lots of walkers and photographers.   No runners!  The paparazzi had their long lenses trained on a kestrel.
