Friday 23rd October

Very windy and wet today 😂. There were a few people out today, but not many. 

There was a little bit of litter, and I found a little campfire site between the fishermans gate and the fence seperating winnall south, but not sure how new it is. 😊

21st Oct

Slight difference in the outlook this afternoon! This morning I got drowned....This afternoon the sky is blue! 

A few walkers enjoying the Autumn sunshine.

No litter and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

The only things that were ruffled were swan feathers. Bit of a territorial battle going on.

The family with four were put out by the appearance of two interlopers and chased them for a considerable distance up stream.

Meanwhile their youngsters, left to their own devices, had a long bath!

PS. Sorry posting this late!

Sunday 18th September

 Quite a few walkers, one moderate runner.  No litter.

Sat 17th October

 All good. 

12 cattle in Eastern meadow all lying down enjoying the sunshine

16 no collars in MWHM munching away 

Two sets of ponies fine 

6 cattle inDNS restless:  bellowing and were huddled round the top gate. I imagine wanting to join their mates inEM. Came towards me and followed me back to the gate, which  I double checked was shut!

All traps empty  

Saturday 17th October

A stunning Autumnal morning. The greater spotted Woodpecker calling. Much less litter than a normal Saturday - maybe a chilly night helps. A fast runner forced me off the path without a glance. Ah well...

Thursday 15th October - All Good

A few visitors and a small amount of litter. A group of 4 lads making a film just off the path to going the reed beds. Promised me they were doing no harm I couldn't really see a basis to tell them to stop. Otherwise all good, no issues to report. 

Wednesday 14th October

Lovely autumnal morning - very quiet on the reserve and very little litter.

Met a couple of ladies at the Durngate entrance with a young puppy who had arrived on the advice it would make a lovely walk - explained it does but not with a dog and why, suggested a couple of alternative walks for them to take.

Several darter dragonflies enjoying the sunshine on what renains of the pond.

Hope the testing goes well on Friday - fingers crossed!
