First visit for a long time. What a completely run down mess the reserve appears now. First Chiffchaff heard and seen, likewise Cettis Warbler heard and seen. 5 Bullfinch, 2 Reed Buntings 2 Little Grebe. No sign of Kingfisher or Dipper around the Weir.
Smart-shame about the reserve.
ReplyDeleteMeurig, that comment seems a little unfair, since there has been a lockdown for most of the last few months, and MWT have only just begun to have small volunteer parties operating again. We are struggling with very few resources to tackle a number of pressing jobs at all the MWT reserves.
ReplyDeleteI would echo Simon's point, and note that the volunteers plan to work on the reserve both this week and next. We would always welcome extra volunteers, as it's a huge task to keep all the 'plates spinning'.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the Cetti's is still about.
Yes very unfair given the current situation - also not sure how driving to and visiting a reserve accords with the current 'stay at home' guidance
ReplyDeleteI walked.
