30/11/2024  9.00 - 12.45  Blashford North   Usual path and hide checks and bramble trimming. Paths that have been 'leaf blown' looking good!! Main car park is going to need a good clean!!!!! Is the 'no access' notice due to go back up on the new gate by Goosander hide? 

 ? Female Scaup in front of Lapwing hide. Great White Egret on northern side of spit between Lapwing and Goosander. First Goosander sightings of the year seen from Goosander hide. Good view of three Roe deer resting at the bottom of the bank behind the vegetation to the south-west of Goosander hide!

Conflicting notices regarding Tern hide and main car park status on Blashford Lakes website.
