Friday 28th Feb

Lovely walk around winnall this morning, I saw a pair of kingfishers and a water rail. I’ve updated the chalk board with a few species to. Not much litter and very quiet on site.

Thursday 27th 

A pleasant day in the south, although I found two margarine tubs discarded in two locations, both removed and binned. They weren't there in the early morning but appeared this afternoon. I also fished a glass bottle out of the water with a 10p deposit cap, how longs that been there? Nice to see a Kingfisher in the sun this morning.  

 

Thursday 27th - all good in the South

Quiet, a photographer, couple of runners. The photographer hadn’t seen the kingfisher(s). No litter except for a smashed bottle in the glade. Chalk board still clean!

Tuesday 25th work party

Hi all,

We had another work party in the south.

 Continued planting near the swimming hotspot.

Boardwalk repairs.

I found a kids 'den' in the depths near the dipping stream here:

Pulled out a very heavy pallet, a very large tarp and plenty of rubbish.

I've blocked the access with pleached trees and brash so hopefully that area will be left undisturbed now.

Still need to tidy brash in swimming pool meadow and rake material along path to pond.

Thanks for your support,

Sam

not a day to hang about

 No litter unless you count 2 fish carcasses. 3 walkers and lots of water.
Durngate 37.23 (that's quite high) main channel running fast. We've had 23mm rain since yesterday, 5 days worth. Good work on the clearance.

Sunday 23rd February

 A few walkers.  Was almost flattened, twice, by a pair of fast runners.

Thursday 20th

Wet day, one solitary runner. The chalkboard at the Durngate entrance has been cleaned but unfortunately updated with graffiti again. I didn't have anything with me to clean it off. If whoever is on tomorrow is able to take a cloth with them and clean it I'm sure that would be appreciated by all. 

Single Tulip on the bench at the northern end of reserve.
