Mid season survey

At Nightingales's Bridge there's a small amount of balsam by the bridge; downstream, in the horse paddock, there seems to be a fair amount on the river bank but not too much in the paddock itself. Upstream there's a big clump on the river bank.

The corner of Hilly Fields has a big clump despite Dave's heroic efforts last year.

There's none visible along the field edge between Nightingales's Bridge and Bridge House.

Between Rectory Road and Church Road there's quite a bit growing along the riverbank. At Meadow Mead where we cleared earlier there are a few large plants, some of which I cleared.

The field behind St Peters has a nice new "Trespassers will be Prosecuted " sign! There wasn't any  sign of balsam from the gate apart from some big clumps along the river bank.

On the way up to Black Rocks I couldn't see any sign of balsam. At Black Rocks itself there were a few plants some of which I cleared.

Between Black Rocks and Cogmill there were a few isolated plants.
