16/05/2026  9.00 - 13.00  Blashford North and Dockens Water path. Hide and path check. Increased bramble trimming and a branch trimmed that was hanging over the north end of the eastern path.

Issues of note:

• Dead female fallow deer at the western end of the Cross path, behind the trees on the north side, beside one of the deer crossing points. ?Recent. No obvious signs of animal or bird predation since death. Looks bloated - ?pregnant or bloated since death.
• Hanson Plant. Grid bent out and a pile of nuts and washers on the ground. All left over from last week's activity?!!!!
