09/11/2024  9.00 - 13.00  Blashford North     Key points: Leaf litter ++ Hides seem OK apart from sticking lower edge on door at Goosander hide   Nettle trimming required on verges of paths to Lapwing hide.  Viewing platfrom: Sight lines need clearing particularly in view of increasing 'home to roosts' and potential murmurations. They include sight lines  1. to Spit Island.   2. to west and south-west areas of Ibsley Water.   3 from back of viewing platform to Goosander hide.

Is the northern side and western tip of the spit between Lapwing and Goosander to be cleared as per the southern side? Access from the water to the shore is prevented by current bramble etc growth in those areas.   

2 Great White Egrets seen. One on western shore and one on north side of spit, south of Lapwing Hide
