Fairly quiet chatted to 3 lots of young families walking slowly round. Good to see a couple of sedge warblers flying in and out of the reeds by the pond - nest building? A couple of brimstone butterflies braving the gusts of strong wind.
Removed an empty wine bottle from Durngate bench but only small amount of litter otherwise.
Only a few people about. Had a word with two runners when they didn't slow for me again on their second lap. They just looked at me like I was an idiot.
Friday 11 April
Three groups of wild swimmers noted at 1400 hours
Three cyclists noted passing along the path at speed parallel to the School of Art at 1445 hours. I was too far away to offer a challenge.
… but I think another volunteer/looker (Mike, not on this blog) went around …
A lovely morning with a few couples strolling round, one was surprisedat seeing a cormorant. Two young families taking each other's photographs on the bench in the stream dipping area and although local it was their first visit and said they would definitely come back as it was so beautiful.
Not much litter and no swimming.
