Cambridge parkrun this morning. Heavy rain started just before the run, but this has eased to a light drizzle by the start. The course was therefore quite muddy. A good time considering the conditions of 22'38".

I managed an earlier start today so I was able to run just under 10 miles to Oily Hall. Weather was dry and not too cold. Finished in a decent time of 1 hour 27'02" a new PB for this course.
6 Moorhens were seen along Quy Water and the adult Swans were mating just before Lode Mill (quite a romantic spot!). No sign of last year's youngsters now. A Green Woodpecker was heard in the woods opposite Anglesey Abbey.
A Heron was seen flying off along Fen Road. A Buzzard was over Oily Hall and 3 more seen later between the old railway line and Quy Fen. 3 Roe Deer were also at Oily Hall.
2 Reed Buntings and 2 Skylarks in the usual place. Several pairs of Partridges about.

An 8-mile run to the end of White Fen Drove this morning. Weather was foggy and fairly cold and damp. A slow time again of 1 hour 8'30".
Despite the fog some decent sighting today. The adult Swans were on Quy Water, no sign of the juveniles. A Kingfisher was perched in the hedgerow, just after the second kissing-gate along Quy Water. 5 Moorhens seen this morning.
A Great-Spotted Woodpecker was drumming along Fen Road, opposite the cottages. Along the grass track section of White Fen Drove there was a pair of Little Owls.
2 Reed Buntings seen along the ditch after Lodestar and a few Yellowhammers seen.

Another cold morning - Lode 10k route again. After heavy rain on Sunday and Monday the path along Quy Water at Anglesey Abbey was quite muddy in places. A slow time again of 54'42"

A cold and misty Lode 10k run this morning. It was so misty across the Lodestar fields that I missed the bridge over the small ditch by about 50m and had to back-track along the ditch. A slow time of 55'50".
Not much to see this morning obviously, but I did see a Kingfisher at the pond in Station Road.
