3rd April
As they say - better late than never. Thursday 3rd April saw me waiting at 6am by the visitor centre for half an hour before helping Errol with the ringing activities. A short disappearance by me at 8.45 am and I was back at 9.45 am with BTCV volunteers constructing willow spilings on the main lake close to the Visitor Centre for the rest of the day. Around lunchtime a Kestrel hovered over the Island on the main lake. Saw the (pre massacre) frogs on the dipping platform near the Rough. Oystercatcher calling on far side of main lake & flying around in the afternoon. Will keep you posted on BTCV activity around the park.
