Friday 7th March

Not too popular today probably due to the weather. Muntjac were present by the boardwalk and a sign was thrown into the river under the rec footbridge but has now been put back.

Thursday 6th March

Lovely day, counted 19 members of the public enjoying the reserve, no runners. The most people I've counted. Recovered a deflated helium balloon and disposed of it, otherwise no litter or issues to report. Nice egret in a tree. 

Tuesday 4 March

 I noted two men with fishing rods entering the Moor from Durngate. They left when told fishing wasn't allowed. 

Monday 3 March

This afternoon, I observed three teenagers jumping the fence into the Sanctuary area. They left when challenged, and the no access sign was pointed out. 

Chilly.

 Frozen water and grass, but lovely.

No litter. A few walkers, none of my regulars. Nice work on the vegetation

No rain since Wednesday (3 days' worth in the morning) but levels not down much at 37.20 and "steady"

Sunday 2nd March

Frosty.

Lots of walkers. Two runners: one polite, the other polite the second time I saw her.

Two people magnet fishing from red bridge.  I asked them to stop.

Saturday 1st March

Beautiful sunny morning. Not many visitors but multiple small groups of runners, 2s and 3s. Nuthatches singing. My first used condom of the year, near

the paddling stream - nice! Scarlet elf cups still out.
