Down the road Mike has had a rewarding visit to his patch. The highlight was a Coal Tit, a first for Middle Spernal Pool, he tells me. A wandering Shoveler was also present, and also three Oystercatchers were at nearby Haselor Scrape.
Some sad news is that the owner of much of the land at both of our patches, Felix Dennis, has died of cancer. I didn't know him at all, but judging from his obituary in the Guardian he seems to have led a very colourful life.
I would imagine that his tree planting legacy will be unaffected in the short term at least.
