It's now 3.30pm on Friday afternoon and it has rained non-stop all day, not just light rain or drizzle but the stuff which made Noah take up carpentry long ago.
As many of you know the reserve is already waterlogged and passage along the Woodland Trail is impossible.
The Wetland Trail is also submerged and advice from the Warden is to take extreme caution if venturing on to this side of the reserve.
The Meadow Trail is not only under water in parts it is also completely overgrown and cutting this may prove to be a challenge for our volunteers on Sunday.
We are tuned in to the Environment Agency Flood line (especially as I live in the same area!) and will monitor the warnings if issued.
Apart from the above, the reserve could be a good place to spot basking shark, dolphins and the odd wayward seal.
See you on the reserves,
Best regards,
Chris Edwards
