Ten people came to help and we collected about 10 bags of litter.<\/p>\n<p>No extraordinary items were found today, just the usual items &#8211; crisp packets, sweet wrappers,\u00a0bottles, packaging, carrier bags, balls, cigarette ends ( for the well practised pickers! ) One bottle had been smashed on the bank of the lagoon at the eastern end and so we collected all the dangerous shards of glass, a real hazard for the wildlife.<\/p>\n<p>The weather was cloudy but no rain so we were lucky.<\/p>\n<p>Our new banner and flag were displayed at the event though Marion and I had to enlist the help of two kind members to put them up. To be fair we didn&#8217;t have the\u00a0instructions!<\/p>\n<p>A huge thanks to Ian Brereton\u00a0for organising the event and all the equipment\u00a0and his kind wife for being his chauffeur today!<\/p>\n<p>The lagoon is looking clean and tidy once again ready for the new arrivals &#8211; hopefully. We had a sneaky close up view of the Swan nest after the event thanks to David Wilson who lives right by the nest and who keeps a close watch on the Swans. The male was on the nest keeping the eggs warm whilst the female was having a well deserved bath in the lagoon! No sign of the cygnets yet but I think they will be hatching any day now. Last year they were on the water on the 1st May. Keep a look out for them and please leave fresh water out for them if you live on the lagoon. Many thanks.<\/p>\n<h6>by Jo Procter<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another successful litter pick up today around Widewater!
