In a brief visit this morning, most of which was spent staring up into the Alder by the dipping pond, a feeding Siskin finally stayed long enough in the open for some half decent shots, plus a Goldfinch. Later, after I had left, Wayne Strong found 2 female Pintails on W lake.

News from VoG council is that the Aqua Park will not return to Cosmeston this year, whilst more detailed environmental and other investigations are carried out. Good news but it doesn’t preclude it returning in the future dependant on what the investigations reveal.
