Jacki 19/08/23 9.00 - 13.15 Blashford North.   All appears OK. Small amount of rubbish, drinks cans, outside Goosander hide. Good sightings of kingfisher fishing and feeding at Goosander early this morning, plus firecrest along the Dockens Path towards the Rockford entrance. Photographed by a visitor. 

Reptiles: grass snake released from under the cover of the sandpit by Catherine first thing, and I saw both a male and female adder in separate places on the north side.
