Friday 31st January

Lovely and quiet today on the south. Met a couple out for a walk with a pair on binoculars. Saw the Muntjac in swimming pool meadow and the kingfisher was sat down at Durngate just as I left

Thursday 30th January - all good in the South

 A couple of photographers, no litter.

Wednesday 29th January

 Still lots of puddles especially on the eastern side. A few people  enjoying  a walk round and a couple of photographers enjoying themseves trying to photograph a friendly robin but having difficulty with some very active bluetits ! A couple of noisy Canada geese on the main river and one on the fishing lake - easily visible since all the tree felling there. Managed to retrieve a china coffee cup and beer bottle from the very centre of a big bramble bush at Durngate - fortunately some large branches nearby came in handy! Having spoken with Trust staff earlier at the northern end I gather there is funding for the boardwalk on the southern end but some reserves in South Hampshire have priority over any bridge repairs on the north.

wet wet wet

 wow. 33mm rain since yesterday. depth 37.3 and "steady" but its well up on this time yesterday. No surprise there are many flood warnings in the area today. Wellies advised! Overtopping rife including at the repairs. 3 booze bottles at Durngate but nothing else. A bit of debris about but nothing serious. I was alone today apart from swans. Deer footprint in 1st pic at Durngate entrance, joine by swan footprint later

Sunday 26th January

Some walkers.  Some silly runners.  A family with a large out-of-control dog and a small out-of-control child.

The fishing club have cut down a lot of trees, you can see right in now.  How are they able to do that?

Thursday 23rd

All quiet, a couple of visitors, no litter. 

bit warmer

 very little litter. Saw a walker and a couple of regular runners. Nice view towards Nun's Stream. Fed the robin, he was glaring and pointing at his watch.

No recent  rain (but yesterday felt like it!). Height 37.19 and steady. Lots of noise from fishing lakes, looks like they're having a tree clear out before nesting season.
