The first day of a new year is always exciting, when everything has reset to zero and even a blackbird or robin is big news.
The Warwick 100 team were out and about, hampered a little by the weather, but managed a rather impressive 49 species on day one.
It really has been soggy over the Christmas period and there seems to be no let-up as we wade into 2024. The Saxon Mill fields are cut off from the bridge as the weir rages under my feet. Hopyards is living up to its name as a flood plain, although there doesn't seem to be any boundary between river and flood at the moment!
Day three has seen us reach 57 species, the best being a fabulous great white egret, who was taking advantage of a very flooded St Nicholas Park. More like Kingfisher Ocean than Kingfisher Pools currently!
Stay safe out there, folks!
Lizzy and the team
