Wednesday 17th June
Very quiet this morning. 5 cygnets with parents guarding them as they snooze on the bank by the pond junction. Lost track of time watching a mallard keeping a watch over her 6 ducklings on the pond!
Tree branches still in place at the northern end. Marsh thistles in full bloom along with some purple loosestrife.

quiet
"normal" sort of round - if there is such a thing.
Met a couple of regulars who told me about the City Council's plan for a new path on riverpark. They were worried about the potential effect on the Reserve. I've signed the petition.
No litter. Heard a Cetti's and Chiff Chaff among many others. Water levels ok
1 dead shrew but at least it means there are some live ones around

Bottle in the pond but I couldn't reach it
A few walkers, one runner. Party zones free of litter, remains of a fire in the Glade.

A nice day so quite a busy one, willow branches all still in tact at the top of the loop, fingers crossed they stay that way! Minimal litter and lots of respectful people.
