202/09/2025  9.00  -  13.00  Blashford North  Usual hide and path check & trim.

Issues of note:

1 Section of Mockbeggar fence down at eastern end of cross path with several posts broken - ? from deer activity. Probably no immediate risk of livestock escape from Mockbeggar as no grazing appears to be going on in the vicinity at present.

2 Western screen overlooking silt pond on north path - fungi present 2-3m away at the bottom of the bank to the right, and at the base of a small group of young willow that, if removed, would give a much better view from the screen!!

5 ponies seen in Section 2

Some visitors have been asking if the recording from the swift tower will be switched off for the winter as probably not needed at the moment?
