Merry Xmas & A Happy New Year!!!
Not the most pleasant morning – but the usual suspects were up at the ponds at first light – as always there was plenty of tasks to be done – improving the netting to keep the Cormorants out – keep the hatchery in pristine cleanliness – leaves to be raked & swept up – batteries to be moved & charged etc.
