General (county) news - 14th May 2010

  • Bigger hatches (eclosures) of mayflies on the Thames today, due in part to a slight change in wind direction from north-easterly (for the last two weeks) to a sou-westerly. We may see the heady heights of 17c over the weekend, and up to 70f (21c) briefly by mid week next week I hear!
  • Black swan cygnets all hatched now.
  • Great crested grebe young growing well.
  • Common terns over Caversham weir this morning at dawn, courting with the male catching fish for the female.
    IT'S FRIDAY...
  • Horse chestnut blossom in full swing.
  • Bluebells dying back now in our woods.
