Trimley update

We have just had two days of mist and fog with visibility sometimes down to only a few yards; it has also been very chilly. On Tuesday twenty keen people came to the Trust’s ‘Wildlife Spectacle’ Hares at Trimley. Thank goodness they were a happy bunch and dismissed the weather as just one of those things.


After a hot cup of tea we ventured out onto the marsh where visibility was appalling. There’s one, someone shouted, No that’s a Canada Goose, oh look there’s two more over here, No that’s two Canada Geese. Eventually we did see some Hares, yes they were definitely Hares, you could tell by their large ears – just. In the end we all had reasonably good views but no boxing matches.

We had another cup of tea then visited the hides to look at some birds. Many thanks to the ladies who helped me to make tea and tidy up – much appreciated.

Today, in the fog again, my volunteers helped to clear reed and grass from in front of two of the hides.
