Our small lake which was built last year is starting to take shape with pioneer plants covering the ground around the margins. Subject to permission from the Environment Agency we will be looking to stock it with fish this year.
A great thing happened only last night when Chris and I were watching the insect life on the water and Swallows scooping them up. We watched with fascination the Damsel flies, resting on vegetation near water and drifting through the air, with their vivid colors they were just fantastic to watch.
Also another sucess is the first breeing pair of Mallard on the island, thay have hatched nine duckings who are great to watch.
Tourers
They say the economy is going wrong and everyone is tightening their belts, well may be so but we have never been as busy for Tourers. Some people are travelling only thirty minutes to get to us on a weekend, people who in the past would have travelled a lot further. ...Interesting stuff, we are really pleased to see them.
