Lots of Bird Wildlife on the River today. Heron. Canadian Geese, 6 Kites ( Birds of Prey ) flying above and two Grebes diving in the river and doing a Spring Courtship synchronized dance. We also saw a few long tailed tits flying back and forth across the river.
Parts of the river path had fallen away into the river and was cordoned off with fencing for safety reason.
