Without enforcement there is little point in putting up these notices. The fungi gangs were out this morning on #CannockChase. They had a spotter on look out and full bags,when seen they rapidly dispersed, they must have been out since first light🍄‍🟫🍄‍🟫

Trouble with jackdaws. 2 of the 5 owl boxes cleared at Sherratts Wood Scout campsite contained abandoned tawny owl eggs. The jackdaws sit on top of the boxes and throw sticks onto the owl till it abandons. Other boxes taken over by squirrels. Better luck next year🤞
