Very nice and lucky you :)

PS I tried to gain access to a private fishery but even offering to become a member met with a refusal. I was quite deflated that they could not see some mutual benefit to my occasional/monthly visits around the lakes. I will have to review the email comms and perhaps see if it worthwhile asking again???

Thank you- Yes always have to ask again, I got this on my 2nd time of asking, a promise of images for the fishery web site sealed the deal so to speak :)

Nice to get a new birding spot, mate - especially when there's a chance to see Marsh Harriers :)

I don't often see Marsh Harrier, the end of the fishery is remote enough and no fishing pegs, so undisturbed if you like?
