21/12/2024  9.00 - 13.00   Blashford North  Usual path trim and clear, and hide check. No obvious problems except for leaves on ramp to Lapwing hide and boardwalk. Strong winds tomorrow may change that!!  

Flock of siskin seen along eastern path to Lapwing. GWE on western shore, one goosander in front of Goosander hide and pair of Golden Eye in front of Tern hide. NW wind meant a lot of the birds were to the west and north west of Ibsley or sheltered by spit island in Goosander Bay. 8/9 fallow deer in Hanson Plant, led by the white doe.
