October 9th 2024 Centre to Ivy South, boardwalk, Ellingham west path, Pound, north side, Goosander. then Ivy North and Tern Hides.
Willow Hut inundated with everything except willow! Not sure what the policy is with the structure. Quite happy to spend a shift clearing bramble and nettles from it. Nothing else to report apart from a pair of Green Sandpipers at Goosander and a singleton at Tern Hide. Strongly suspect 3 birds. The windows in Goosander need easing. Opening them causes some bird disturbance.

No policy per se, more of an experiment to see if we could replace the old mud hut with a living structure using willow cuttings. Some seem to have taken whilst other have not, so we will need to fill in the gaps with new cuttings soon. Cutting back the bramble and nettles would be a help thanks Nigel!
ReplyDeleteYou may already be aware, but Goosander hide has suffered from subsistence issues hence why the window catches on the frame when opening/ closing. We do have plans to replace the hide in the future but can’t give a timeframe on this just yet. Cheers!
