cool but better

 3 walkers, no runners. I left a NERF water pistol on the Durngate bench in the hope it gets reunited with owner. Plenty of birdsong. I saw a jay, 2 Canada geese and, by the pond, a muntjac. Despite recent rain and the Environment Agency markers saying levels are rising/dropping. Some streams were lower, some higher. Recent track of a bicycle going between Durngate and North Walls (i.e. not obliterated by yesterday's rain)

Sunday 15th March

Lots of walkers, a couple of grudgingly polite runners.

A dead mole in the pond. No new fires.

Saturday 14th March

A beautiful bright morning.  Excellent sighting of a reed bunting at the pond, a muntjac on the path, heard my first chiff chaff, the sparrowhawks were seen mating by the photographer (I only heard them). Another fire on the glade - they keep coming back, whoever they are.

Thursday 12th March

A quiet but windy morning on the moors, only one jogger, a couple sat on bench on the wacky backy but absolutely no litter. Drying out slowly.

One beautiful Roe Deer.

Wednesday 11th March

 An afternoon visit. Very quiet and very little litter. Two people sitting on the pond dipping platform and acting as guards for all the frogspawn as a couple of mallards coming in and out! No sign of any frogs.

Reminder - no lookering cover Thursday 12th, but there will be warden cover

Dryer but cool

 Saw the Glade fire, but otherwise no litter..

Couple of walkers, 2 regular runners. Lots of birds.
