With a working predator proof fence, one of the immediately obvious effects has been the increase in the number of Canada Geese within its confines. Strangely enough we normally only get two or thre pairs breeding per year but at least 15 pair are on site and the first two goslings are currently paddling around Purfleet Scrape with their parents. Plenty more to come I reckon!

...and some more hot news...! I just refound the missing baby Lapwing from last week! He is alive and well and has grown somewhat. Well done Mum!
