Wednesday 29th January 2025. 10.45 to 12.45. Walk around Ivy South, Woodland, North Hide and returning via Lichen Heath and Dockens

Not a lot to report. The reedbed on the north side of Ivy Silt Pond seems to be suffering from strong water flow through the woods. Some appear to be almost uprooted. Had comment from a photographer at Ivy North. He felt that not enough is done for photographers at the Reserve, even suggesting that the front of Ivy north should be painted white to deflect decent sunlight into the adjacent reedbed! I was very polite to him but... Mmm, a subject for discussion!!!
