10/10/2026  9.00 - 12.45  Dockens Water path and North side. Usual bramble and trip hazard trim.

Issues of note:

• Tree down on the western path, south of the cross path. Just possible to get round. Pole saw could be used to remove the branches directly affecting the path but a chain saw would be needed at some point to remove the main trunk.
• At the eastern screen on the north path there is a large tree blocking the extreme right of the view. Is there any chance of cutting the affecting branch back?

Sightings:

• Brenda and Kevin bird ringing along the north path and in the bird table field. ?50 birds caught
• Whilst at Lapwing Hide !!!!! an Adult and a juvenile White Tailed Eagle were seen flying around the northern part of Ibsley Water, exiting to the east.
• Ruddy Duck reported at northern end of Ibsley.
• Water pipits and wagtails reported on the shore in front of Tern Hide.
