Wondered how long it would be before "they" realised it was pointless trying to keep poachers out with the little wooden fence..........this week they reinforced it with an eyesore of a solution.......back to how its been for the last 3-4 years.
Nothing out of te ordinary at Lower but many hours spent watching the usuals.......

The afternoons have been dark,dead and dreary all week with nothing going on.....a highlight today though was 2 KESTRELS following each other over the corner of Lower and around the trees on the bridleway. One returned minutes later and went off down the right of Lower.
The Male Kingfisher shot under the road and off to the far end of Mill Shrub but was later catching supper ...a quiet big fish which it couldn't kill - so flew to the large branch under the trees on the right edge of water.

I was feeling lucky after spotting a couple Buzzards on the M42 this afternoon so I had a quick stop at the Lower Res. I disturbed a Grey Wagtail and then a Kingfisher which flew across the res and gave a call as it went up the river. Great! Some of my other favourites were present; 3 cormorant, a few tufted ducks and a GCG. Not bad for a ten minute stop!!
