Happy New Year!
Tad warmer and brighter today. There's a plank on the boardwalk feels spongier than before, identified by tape. Someones been walking in the grass beside boardwalk, clear human tracks. Minimal litter, pair of child's specs at dipping stream, I took them home and will post on a couple of local groups. Quiet with a bit more bird noise around. Cygnets are changing plumage. Durngate depth 37.12, very little change lately. No recent rain, but you wouldnt know it.
A few birdwatchers and walkers. A couple of runners including the one who pushed me, running fast laps. He told me to fuck off on his first lap and gave me the finger on his second lap. Ever the charmer.
I'm away next two Sundays, back on 19th January.
By agreement with Sam won’t be covering South or North today. Hope everyone had an excellent 25th!
Vert quiet this morning though the ducks were in fine carolling !! voice. Met a couple of families enjoying a pre lunch stroll.
Signage much better- thanks Paul. Will replace the Winchester Local Area Volunteers HIWWT group programme in the New Year.
Merry Christmas everyone from Anne and Tim
Popped over today to replace the Sanctuary sign. While I was at it I secured the No Dogs on North Walls Bridge as it had one drawing pin left. There's a rubbish fire in the Rugby Club. The smoke can look like it's in Rugby Club Meadow, but it isn't.
Really nice though. 3 tits, 3 warblers. Slightly icy underfoot. 2 runners, 1 with children. No litter thanks to the weekend team.
Durngate water 37.14m. No rain since yesterday
Fairly quiet. Two walkers walking, one runner running (nicely) and no dogs masquerading as otters.
