Yellow Browed Warblers,Goldcrest,and munching Muntjack.

Well im back,been unable to do much walking for a few weeks due to a foot injury whilst on one of my Broads Authority tasks, wrung it over on a tree stump.very painfull for quite some time.

Ive been wracking my brains to try and remember some things that have happened over the past few weeks.

Back at the end of summer took the girls to Wheat Fen, we were prepared sort of ,for it being a bit damp, we hadnt read the informative leaflet very well, it is an area which is prone to flooding as it is an area which takes any extra tidal water from Norwich.Damp??? it was partly knee deep in water, but what fun we had, two of us gave up and went back to the car but myself and my other daughter carried on regardless, wading through the flood, we saw lots of lovely little toads, we could just about see where the path was, so we didnt end up walking into a ditch, but it was still a good day out, if you do decide to go there check you have your wellies.

I expect you are wondering what has happened to the great dyke challenge, maybe not, but it is all coming along nicely, I have planted up lots of wild plants and flowers, we had a good plant appear from nowhere, if i can remeber, it was a Nodding Burr Marigold, which is a good native species.I have planted the top area of the dyke with grass,I had lots of lovely dragonflies and butterflies in the summer, and a couple of weeks ago a Muntjack deer appeared in my garden munching on something.well i stood looking at it and it stood looking at me, both very surprised to see each other.

Have had lots of lovely birdies down at *the reserve*( i now call it,) Chiff chaff Goldcrest, Yellow Browed Warbler. a beautiful Song Thrush, Black Cap.so the dyke is coming along nicely.

  1. Hi Little Miss. Good to hear from you again. I'm sure I remember being on your trip to Wheatfen so does that make me one of the girls now!?
