Sunday 8th March

Busy with walkers, families, birdwatchers.  Nice to see some young people with their cameras and binoculars.  One silly runner.  Couple of people far off the path, including the artist.

New fat balls in the feeder at ///pelting.rollers.succumbs (near path on the west/Art School side)

The remains of the fire in the glade is mostly ash, I cleared up the paper. Might need to a shovel for the rest.

Saturday 7th March

A bad litter day plus a large new fire site on the glade. Lots of paper ash and still hot, so I didn't have the means to clear it all. At the Durngate board a capped syringe which I took to Trinity as they have a sharps box. Human excrement next to it which I had to bury. A guy drinking beer at 9.30am at the paddling stream, who ga



ve me his empty can.

Thursday 5th March - all OK

Very quiet, minimal litter. No sign of the frogs, but the little muntjac was grazing on the open ground in front of the pond. Thursday Group finishing up willow burning in Swimming Pool Meadow.

Wednesday 4th March

 Beautiful day - first outing without a jacket!

More frogspawn in the pond since last week but no sign of frogs today. A muntjac deer in the brambles nearby. 

Had several friendly chats with people enjoying a stroll round and a not so friendly exchange with a rather beligerant cyclist sunbathing on the bench at the northern end. Picked up a collection of 6 lager cans this morning.

 much the same as Lynne and Jim: 2 walkers, lots of frog activity in the pond.

Water levels going down a bit (don't speak too soon!)
