Gate Closed.

It was nice to see the gate leading to the slipway closed to stop the cars churning up the area and to stop the fly tipping which was an eyesore till it was cleaned up.
Also the site was on the ball with the fallen tree that blocked the walk to the woodland area..today it has been cut up and removed. Well done for prompt action.
Spoke to a new birder on the site Ian Prophet (hope I got this right ) who told me he had seen a Black Redstart by the Caravans and Blackcaps further along by the Eastern Stream.
The Stonechats again greeted me and also Goldfinches were feeding on the *salad bowl* which is the first time I have seen them on the seaweed and debris.
Meadow Pipits and Greenfinches were also visible and making use of the mild conditions to show themselves.
