I should have guessed that saying on Tuesday that it was dry would be the signal for yet more rain and sure enough the weather outside is grim - again. Just when we thought that we might finally be able to drop the water levels the fates have interveened yet again to ensure that the whole system has had a good topping up. We are due to start managing the designated wet fen in about eight weeks - the rate the water levels are going we wont be able to see the fen let alone start cutting the vegetation!

Bird wise things have not really improved although there has been a female hen harrier hunting in front of the visitor centre the last couple of days.
