As usual a few odd jobs, including a Japanese Knotweed survey, we recorded carefully the known patches of this troublesome plant, its not a huge problem but needs nipping in the bud.
A litter pick, as usual it was the A484 roundabout that needed attention, at least the fly tipping I reported last week has gone.
Linseed oil on some of the on-site "furniture" and the last of the nest-boxes were put up plus one donated by Veronica
It was during the Knotweed survey that whilst wandering around F3 that I was startled, by a small mouse jumping across my path, on size alone it was a Harvest Mouse but then I noticed a ball of woven grasses in the rushes, a Harvest Mouse nest.

A great record, which has been submitted to WWBIC.
Returning to the same area later I was surprised to see a Wood Mouse jump out of the back of the nest which had now been "ragged" about, was that why the Harvest Mouse had jumped across my path earlier?
