Sad to see two deaths on site, one was one of our cygnets so we are down from the original 5 down to 3. No identified cause for the death.

The second death happened last night, it was a young dog fox found on the edge of the reserve. There seems to be an injury on the rear leg which could be from being shot. So depressing to see such a beautiful animal killed. Look away now if you don’t want to see the animal!

Its mouth is full of winter wheat, I’m told foxes do this when very stressed.
