Suspension of Visits to Priorslee Lake and The Flash
To be in line with the latest Government exhortations and in order to stay well clear of the latest fast transmitting form of the Covid virus I am suspending my visits to both Priorslee Lake and The Flash as from today.
Meanwhile a short narrative summary of my 2020 sightings is available here.
A longer set of tabulated sightings of my 2020 records covering birds, moths, butterflies, dragonflies and hoverflies is available here
Thanks to everyone for their interest. Don't forget that any sightings or questions can be sent to priorsleelake@hotmail.com
We will all get through this. I will return as soon as circumstances permit
