Sunday 23rd November

 A few walkers, some not being very courteous to a swan on the path.

My favourite photographers were in.  Very sweet couple, loads of expensive equipment, never see anything!  

No litter.

On the way out, I noted the rugby club were using the pathway between pitches for training exercises.  This is a well used route from the west side of the park to the NW bridge.  They don't normally use it, other than for spectating parents (who have to be kept back from the touchline with tape, but that's another story). I asked politely if they could keep it free for nature reserve access.  I got a load of condescending mansplaining from one of the coaches. I spoke to the person in charge and he said he would keep it free in future, so it is possible after all 🙄.

Saturday 22nd November

Quiet and damp. Admired the recent meadow cutting. Not much litter today,  but one syringe plunger and one bag of cannabis sweets.

Just a few visitors and photographers. And an artist capturing late Autumnal colours! Almost no litter. Perfect Thursday visit.

Wednesday 19th November

 Several people wrapped up warmly enjoying the fresh air and sunshine  after the sleet showers and a swan snoozing on the river bank near NML

No litter for once!

cold

 not much of a frost but some was on the board walk. Very quiet apart from swans. Met a Catholic lady saying Morning Prayer. Cant help but agree it's a good place to do this.

3 runners

Three visitors.

Pizza boxes and coke bottles in the undergrowth on the track up to the pond. Cleared away.

Otherwise all good.
