Thursday 27th August

It's been a while since visiting the site, footpaths clear and survived the recent strong winds.

A small amount of litter by the big hotel

The new no cycle signs are still up so hopefully working.

Some juvenile slow worms under the mats, loads of house Martin's and a couple of jays in the trees roadside.

Thanks,

Quick walk around, even in the drizzle the purple knapweed throughout the site could still be seen. Few walkers and runners out. No litter.

First time here in a while! Looking lovely. The fields are buzzing with insects, it almost blocks out the sound of all the construction going on. Saw plenty of large whites and heard skylarks & yellow hammers which is nice.

Path and fences looking in good condition. Although seems to be some detour paths forming on the south aide of the reserve towards the properties. Spfial distancing Plath's probably?

Couple of clumps of ragwort on the eastern boundary , within the meadow.

All looking good. Will try and get out on Friday to cut back vegetation on path at Northern end.

I love bees

Tuesday 23rd June

I went out to top the paths again today. The meadows are looking great, the ox-eye daisies are going over now but that allows you to see the other flowers underneath which were being hidden! Lots of butterflies out on the wing, a few small torts and lots of marbled whites and meadow browns.

The scabious is coming out in the set aside areas and there are a few pyramidal orchids as well - some of the biggest I've ever seen! It all looks wonderful :)
