The Winter Wind from the North East continues

OUR AIM IS TO PROTECT OUR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND THE HABITAT IT PROVIDES FOR WILDLIFE ALONG THE RIVERSIDE

The cold wind had continued for several days bringing rapid changes to the riverside, ending the long unpredictable autumn. There was no frost on the day of our meet on 27th November 2016  but the wind was drying out the layers of fallen leaves after heavy rainfall the previous week. The river was running fast but the level had receded somewhat, enabling the removal of a trolley and scooter from the Arun under the bridge - only to reveal another trolley entangled with a bicycle underneath. That will be work for December's meet.

November frost on the scrape - winter arrives at last, and wildlife

seeks shelter and warmth in the short hours of the day.
