23rd December 2019
A quiet time of year for plants, but Cow parsley was growing, White dead-nettle was in flower and Hazels had catkins.
There were caravans in the stadium, perhaps accommodation for those manning the "little big top". Quite extensive standing water following recent rainfall, including in the low parts of Horse Close Wood.
Early nesting activity by Magpies, carrying nest material. 35 was the highest ever count of Pochard on the lake, continuing the long-term increas of this species and contrary to the national trend.
