Bridge closure between the reserve and the Rec

The bridge that crosses the river between the reserve and the Rec has been closed for repairs. One of the planks had fallen through and someone tripped on it last week.The bridge belongs to, and is the responsibility of WCC. Hopefully they will put some comms up on the with an explanation. Thanks for sorting the temporary signage Paul Hamilton.

 not a day for lingering. No litter, it's good to follow Rachel!

Swan and greylag family in evidence. Not seen the Pond so low except when drained for work, but loads of footprints in the mud. Heard sedge warbler among others.

Bridge to North Walls closed for repair - apparently someone fell through, there's a bad plank. Only 2 runners as most of my regulars come from Hyde

Sat 28th June

Warm morning with a lot of birders about. Finished up the last of the raking by the pond and met Rachel, so lovely! 
Thank you to whoever left this lovely gift on my windscreen, they're beautiful. 
Headed over to the recreation grounds bridge and saw our dear swan family. 
Swept the bridge of muck and leaves to stop it rotting the boards. 
Did a walk around and found our greylags! The babies have grown so much since I last saw them. 

No cyclists, dogs or swimmers today huzzah!

Saturday 28th June

pected in hot weather I guess. One drug spoon at the Durngate bench. I met no visitors but I did meet Joey for the first time, so it was good to make contact.
