Broadwater - 3 May 2016


For us this was mainly a run out to see Bob, Mike and Margaret, but Denise did also manage to process a couple of birds in what was to some extent a slightly quiet morning.

There has been some quite obvious opening up of access through the site by the local fishing club since they decided to renew their fishing rights lease, which indicates there is likely to be more use by them than there has been in the past. We had been placing some nets along the open access areas, but with this potential increased use of the site by them we are looking to move them into less disturbed areas where hopefully they will not be considering any further scrub clearance.
