Herons & Greylag Geese
Heron fishing in the inlet by The Boathouse |
Also arrived this week, a flock of Greylag Geese which were spotted by Nicola in the visitor centre...which is an ideal spot for bird watching in the warm & dry! Do let me know what bird and animal life you spot around the mere ..I may even be able to get a photo.
Yummy Shortcake!
Swan update
Sadly, the rescued swan did not make it ..passed away at the swan sanctuary. It was originally ringed as a signet in Oct 2010 in Liverpool and was noted on the Manchester ship canal in June of this year, ending up with ourselves. Cuan House in Much Wenlock are our closest animal sanctuary - tel no 01952 728070. Lovely people, doing a brilliant job with little resources!

Another Swan Rescue
Thanks to Gerald (regular morning dog walker) for reporting listless, sick swan on Monday. It was the same one as previously rescued so I put it in my car and drove to the rescue centre in Much Wenlock who are trtying to nurse it back to health, but it is a very sick bird. Fingers crossed & watch this space!!

Vanishing Mere
A Picture really is worth a thousand words!
This cattle fence at the bottom of Mr Stokes' field is usually 20 - 30 feet out in the water and there is not normally a huge strip of sand...oh well, if the hot weather keeps up at least there will be somewhere to put the beach towells...
