General (county) news - 28th April 2010

  • I've been told my bluebell wood (on the Berks / Bucks border) has exploded this week so I'll be off there at the weekend for the annual bluebell pilgrimage. This is of course if the weather holds up (or improves by then anyway - we're due at least two cold, wet and windy days before bank holiday monday I hear).
  • Mandarin drake on the Thames again at Caversham.
  • Great Crested Grebe eggs have hatched on view island, Reading.
  • Black Swan eggs also hatched - four cygnets. Awaiting second pair's eggs to hatch now.
  • First ducklings and goslings on Thames now.
  • First common tern back over Caversham weir.
