15/02/2025  9.00 - 13.00    Blashford North.  Paths and Hides checked. Mud on some of the paths particularly to Goosander hide. Could do with clearing drainage channels from the puddles. Otherwise all seemed OK. 

Little wind meant birds were widely spread across Ibsley, especially at the north end, such that the best views were from Lapwing Hide. Pintail, Widgeon and Shoveler ++. Black necked grebes and golden eye still visible.
