Jacki  5/8/23  9.00 - 13.00   Blashford North. Entrances to the Reserve on both sides of Ellingham Drove had large puddles. Drainage channels were cleared as much as possible and the water had gone down considerably by midday. The boardwalk on the north side was slippery because of the rain. May need a warning notice until mesh replaced or turned over. Otherwise all else appeared OK. Regular sightings of kingfisher at Goosander now, plus a fly by of a Hobby and a well worn Red Kite!!
