01/06/24   9.00 - 13.00 Blashford North  A few brambles and nettles trimmed that had fallen after the verges were cut on Thursday. No obvious problems seen. 

Relatively few birds on Ibsley and those there were mainly on Gull Island or near the north shore because of the wind direction. A small number of sand martins were flying in and out of the wall and a bit later in the morning a flock of about 100 arrived/returned and flew around the lake. A very vocal cuckoo heard on Mockbeggar. A photo was taken by Doug and Hilary. A wagtail on the shore in front of Tern Hide. A Hobby seen flying over from the Welcome Hut.
