It's always good to see a Kestrel. This one was hunting over Kilsby Lane LWS when I got to the acess gate this morning. Rugby Wildife had a busy work party to look forward to, at the furthest point from this gate........

We could do with the water from the roof of the gym club building for the pond but it's mixed with grey water and conducted to the Rainsbrook at the Southern boundary of KIlsby Lane LWS. We brush cut round the pond and nearby to control bramble spread today.
