Diary entry by Christopher Smith

18/09/2005, The Long Drag, Dorman's Pool and Rec Pond

We went birding to the above places. We met a ringer along the Long Drag, he showed me a Greenfinch that he was about to ring. The highlight was seeing a Marsh Harrier flying over the Long Drag, towards Dorman's Pool.
The weather was sunny.
