Bird song day

Blasdale Home Posted on May 3, 2004 by SteveNovember 12, 2020

A three-day holiday, but what horrible weather.  Rained all day on Saturday, Rosemary went to visit her parents, I  did Tescos and installed a wireless link at the neighbours so they could access the internet through our broadband.  The took us our for a meal at the Pheasant in Brill.

Ah Saturday, up at 3:45 to meet up with some other lunatics at Finemere wood to hear the dawn chorus.  I have never heard so much noise from a group of people trying to keep quiet.  People should not wear all those expensive Gortex jackets.  Hey a quite fleece was all that was needed on this rainless warm early morning.  We heard some birds, (too numerous for me to name) and then had a walk around in the light to see the bluebells.  Finished off with a bacon roll and then back to the house by 8.00 for the rest of the day.  This was organised by the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust.  Finemere wood is about two miles from us.  Though we have never walked through it, we have often visited the pond near by.

A little git of gardening  in the afternoon while the weather was fine.

Sunday started off wet and miserable, so a day in front of the PC I think.  Maybe a quick visit to the P&A in the evening to sort out the Tug of War.

Pond survey

Blasdale Home Posted on June 14, 2003 by SteveAugust 8, 2017

In the morning we set off to survey some of the ponds in the Grendon Underwood parish. This is part of council run biodiversity initiative. We planned to visit five ponds on a walk to the highest and furthest point of the parish, Finemere Hill. All the ponds, bar one were now overgrown and contained mature trees. It was obvious they had been ponds, but were no longer ponds. At Finemere Hill there was a very nice pond, about 20 meters in size. It had been used by cattle for water, as there was a slope down into the pond for that purpose.

Afterwards it was back home for a BBQ and wine in the Garden.
