The site has not been re-opened after the recent rainfall and flooding but it is possible to come and park. Then walk with wellington boots - it's ankle deep in places - to the fishers mill bridge canal entrance.
A visitor told us about a juvenile fox which was trotting along the canal path. Walkers were approaching from the north and the south.
True to its name, foxy darted into the nearest hedge, eyes wide open, looking left and right until all was clear.
Everyone had passed by. It then moved out from its hidden spot and carried on its way, along nature's highway.
We've had flocks of rooks (over the car park) and long-tailed tits (along the bridleway). There's been plenty of wrens and robins calling with their quieter autumn calls.
Great spotted woodpecker and lesser spotted woodpecker were seen on the feeders.
