Reserve Maintenance

Greenshank

Visitors a plenty this week at Big Waters, a greenshank and over 100 greylag geese were spotted.

The feeding station, boardwalk, island and scrape were all trimmed by Graham,Alan,Neil, Mick and myself to tidy up the area, remove big thorn bushes, tidy up reeds and trim the feeding station willows and conifers. A hard days graft to help maintain the reserve and make it better for everyone.

Weekly Update: Arrivals and Battles

The unseasonably warm weather continues with temperatures reaching record levels for the end of October.

Although workload has meant I have not spent as much time at Big Waters as I would like there were a few nice sightings and a few winter visitors arriving and even a little unusual behavior from the residents.
