Yes Adam, that was from the Willow Hide ... our paths didn't cross today thenYes the one on the lizard all had it this summer is that slimbridge I noticed lots of apples out there today
That rabbit may survive as resistance is developing to the disease. A very sad story really, mankind introduces the poor animal into a new country where it outbreeds its welcome (due to mankind having previously eradicated, or severely restricted the number of, several natural predators that might have controlled rabbit numbers), then mankind decides it wants rid of their mistake.
Mankind then discovers a disease that will give the offending animal skin tumours, fatigue, fever, and often blindness, and will take around two weeks or so to slowly kill them, and in their millions. When that eventually loses its effectiveness they find something else to do their dirty work for them (rabbit haemorrhagic disease). Every time I see a rabbit with Myxy it reminds me of the words of the poem about the natural environment that includes the lines: 'where every prospect pleases, and only man is vile'.
Visitors wandering all over restricted areas as well, one couple scattering everything in front of the Holden Tower by walking out of the walkway and up onto the bank ... then off across toward across the farmer's field toward the Zeiss Lake!No didn’t see you today but did lookout as thought we might bump into each other again there, too many kids about today but guess it is half term
Have you ever done the summer walk in front of Holden tower through tower then right along and over bank around 1/4 mike to right and to and old ambulance they set up as a hide in front of estuary?Visitors wandering all over restricted areas as well, one couple scattering everything in front of the Holden Tower by walking out of the walkway and up onto the bank ... then off across toward across the farmer's field toward the Zeiss Lake!
I have done a couple of times but never gone at the right time to see much unfortunately.Have you ever done the summer walk in front of Holden tower through tower then right along and over bank around 1/4 mike to right and to and old ambulance they set up as a hide in front of estuary?
No I think it’s probably all over on the left side where you are not allowed we cancelled our membership renewal yesterday as only been 3 times in the year and decided we much prefer Hamwall now and it’s half the distance for us too
Haha I can see why you like slimbridge and out of holidays it’s very good just Hamwall for us has great memories and easy to just chill by yourself and not see people if you don’t want toI often think I will visit Ham Wall but get so much enjoyment from Slimbridge that I rarely take the plunge ... less options for an oldie to take refuge and shelter too!

Yep signs up everywhere.(n)(n)(n)
As I remember (I've never done the walkway at the 'right time' either so rarely bother) there are some pretty obvious signs telling you not to go on the bank. What bit do these people not understand? I was in the South Lake hide once and two people walked across the back of the lake, fortunately without disturbing anything. I have no idea how you even get near there........
