Maundy Thursday 2nd April

 Quite a chilly morning.  All 4 ponies were about 100m west of the top gate and close to the Morestead Rd.  3 looked very sleepy:

1 was grazing nearby.  They all looked well and troughs also good.

3 mewing buzzards overhead while I was with the ponies, and then a small flock of linnets flew over.  Blackcaps singing, but no other migrants yet.  Southern Water's 'lake' has indeed vanished.
