A good start...


 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!
