General (County) update - 22nd March 2011

  • After a very settled weekend, a very settled week follows - warm, bright, no real wind (just a light breeze) - superb!
  • The tufted drake is still with the mallards on the lock at Caversham - I've never seen a tufty other than on the water or in flight, but today I saw the drake asleep on the weir-side, out of the water with the mallards  -  quite a strange sight!
  • On a wee walk up the Thames I was treated to the sound (and then sight of course!) of a kingfisher - nice to see always.
  • Plenty of little midges and caddis flies around - not long now before the big hatches.
