23/09/23 9.00 - 13.00 Blashford North. Verges on both east and west paths to Lapwing need cutting back, particularly the nettles. Worst part is north of bench on eastern path. Reeds also falling over the boardwalk probably due to the wind and rain during the week. Lapwing and common sandpiper on spit in front of Lapwing Hide but view limited by vegetation on the shoreline, which needs clearing. Report given to Catherine regarding presumed flood damage on path to Tern Hide. Potential trip hazards.
