This will be the last update for a few days. Need to sort out my IT system etc!
Got up at 0400hrs, Dawn Corus, sun just rising, stepped out of our drive and tripped over two foxes walking down the middle of the road, fortunately Holly was on her lead. They were only small so I am presuming that they were this years offspring. They looked in good condition.
Got to the Marsh and the Swifts and Swallows were already up and about. You don't realise how loud the Dawn Corus can be, especially when there is no background noise.
Was watching a group of Canada Geese, four adults and five goslings. I assume that the adults are related. The swan families were still in tact, hope it lasts. Pochard, Tufted Duck, Little Grebe on the main lake.
Watched a Kestral hovering over the railway line until it was attacked by a Swallow, not seen that before.
Lapwings still on the Scrub land, no sign of fledglings. Have watched this pair right through from courtship, I hope they are successful.
There was further signs of delinquent behavour on the marsh. Damage to a fence and 'Life Belts' removed from there posts. Fear that this behavour is only going to get worse. It needs some sort of intervention from Corus Security at the relevant times.
