Yesterday saw a rapid thaw after the past days snowfall.
Current Temp @ 11.00hrs : +9
Current Weather : Heavy Showers. Wind increasing from the SSE @ 15MPH.
We are now beginning to see more wildlife enter the marina. Only built this year it will take time. Mallard are becoming more frequent & we now have a resident population. No doubt aided by the generosity of the boat owners. Swan cygnets also frequent. More recently I have spotted Kingfisher, Kestrel, Sparrowhawk & a pair of Raven. A tiny Wren has also taken a liking to the newly planted reed & can be seen flitting in & out daily. Fieldfare mingled with Redwing are also common to the surrounding hawthorn, which still boast many berries. With the influx of many flocks of Waxing last winter throughout the UK it is my hope we may get a visit at some stage this winter. Here's hoping!
