Sunday 18th January

 Fairly busy with runners and walkers.  Some litter including used loo roll. No camping.

Said a cheery good morning to the resident artist, did not get one back.  Hasn't forgiven me!

Thursday 15th January - all OK

Rain getting rainier. Nobody there, except one nice lady pushing her bike. Couple of beer cans tossed into the reeds behind the bench opposite Rugby Club Meadow. Gave the signs near the entrance a wipe over so nobody can now claim they couldn’t see them 😂

Wednesday 14th Jan - Staff check

 Foggy day today so not much could be seen on the wildlife front. 30 odd siskins flittering between the rec and the west of WM.

Inspected some of the rivers for any windblown trees and reported some to WCC, looks like they had been down for a while but they are much easier to see as the vegetation dies back off the banks.

There was a wooden pile/structure in the glade, some of the seats had been moved and evidence of another fire. All cleared and seats put back in place, hopefully this was a once off occurrence.

Other than that not much more to report, quite, calm day on the reserve :)

Thanks all for your support,

Sam

Saturday 10th January

Very little to report on a beautiful crisp morning, minimal litter, though some nasty tissues ...enough said...on the glade. Glad to get rid. Too many runners to enjoy a nature walk, to be honest, but there we are. One early family with little children, having a lovely time, which always makes my morning.
