windy

 2 usual runners and a few walkers.

Wind damage on Red Poll, there's a branch waiting to come down. I couldn't shift it, needs a pole saw. My runners had already moved the faller off the path. I've taped the offender and tape round a tree with a small hanger on it, may be more I can't see. While at the pond I heard an ominous creak towards Durngate entrance but couldn't nail it down. There's a tree in the Glade doesn't look too good.

Several nearby trees on North Walls and water Lane sustained serious damage last week. Oh, and a roe watching me strolled off.

Sunday 14th September

Just one other person there at 8am.  Everything ok.  Deer hanging about.  Jays making a noise.

Saturday 13th September

The sun came out after the rain. Multiple small groups of runners - 2s and 3s - and I must say some could have acted more considerately. I didn't say anything today apart from alerting the group of 3 to the swans on the path. Only litter at the benches and the glade. Love the new bridge.

A ring necked parakeet was calling from the fishing lake and then flew over Rugby Club Meadow. I am not overjoyed to hear them.

Friday 12th September

Hardly anyone this morning - probably because it was early. No signs of litter or disruption. New bridge looks very nice.

Thursday 11th September

Looks like we had double cover today! So here are pics of the now-open Rec bridge, and one of the swan families.

Fast asleep at midday

Thursday 11th September

Very quiet this morning,  only one courteous jogger, and a couple strolling around. Two Swan families on path at top loop. Amazing no litter.

Boardwalks look great. 

Wednesday 10th September

 Very quiet today- didn't meet anyone which perhaps is not surprising as I was walking in a deluge of rain!  Just a sole swan and moorhen. Admired the new boardwalk and Joey's strimming and pond clearance.
