No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

Raggalds Flood back in the running.

Raggalds Flood filling well

No pot of gold at the end of this rainbow
Just 1pr Mallard

Enough water to float a duck

Bring on the Wigeon and Teal

With no vis mig this morning in the strong to gale force wind it was a quick dash up to Raggalds Flood to check the situation at lunch time.
The water is rising well and already attracted a pair of Mallard as well as 2 Pied Wagtails and 1 Grey Wagtail.
4 Common gulls flew in as if to land but moved on again.
Foxhill at midday held 11 Common gulls and 3 Black Headed.
A good day of rain now will top up the flood nicely.
