Occasionally found food on the AstroTurf wicket
Crayfish have been very noticeable around the edge of the lake especially in area 26.Oystercatcher: The first for about sixteen years flew in from the SW at 7.30am. I heard it calling and was looking skywards for it. I was surprised to find it flying just above the lake and heading straight towards me. It then veered and headed off to the east. I phoned Dave who I hoped was somewhere near, luckily enough he to connected with the bird.
