The reserve is now fully open again as of this evening (Tues 24rth May)
Many thanks to all the hard work of our volunteers. All paths have been safely cleared of any fallen branches.
Back to birdwatching - it looks like there may be good news on the marsh harrier front! Since the end of last week, only the male has been spotted flying round the reserve. A food pass witnessed on Sunday (22nd) suggests the possibility of the female sitting on her nest now. Fingers crossed there are some eggs in the nest!
It is getting pretty exciting here - we don't see much of her now but she's definitely still here. A food pass was seen again yesterday (29th) so it's all looking postitive and I have my fingers and toes are all crossed.
That was some wind we had! No major damage caused; just the same as everywhere else with a few big branches down that needed to be removed.
:)
Oh I hope she is on a nest now! That will be pretty exciting having little marsh harriers on the reserve!
Hope the wind hasn't caused too much damage!
