08/02/2025  9.00 - 13.00  Blashford North.  Paths and hides checked. Trimmed hanging bramble runners remaining after Thursday's clearance work at north end. Part of the eastern path, beyond the cross path, could do with clearance/leaf blowing. Hides seem OK. Plenty of birds pairing up and displaying in front of Lapwing hide. 200+ pintails in front of Goosander hide!! Mobile phone found on the ground in the main car park. Returned to owner who fortunately was still in the Tern hide!
