After encountering the large number of people using Holland Haven yesterday I decided to stay at home today, hopefully people will heed government advice and it will be possible to get some exercise in some sort of isolation.
I will of course keep the Blog as up to date as possible with any reports I receive.

Another site year tick for Matt this morning with a Grey Plover on the scrape.
