Little Paxton Pits is a 127.4-hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Little Paxton in Cambridgeshire. Part of it is also a 60 hectare Local Nature Reserve. These flooded former gravel pits are of national importance for wintering wildfowl, especially gadwalls. 

Knocked, but no answer.

Late march to early April. Trip to Cornwall for a couple of weeks, Mevagissey and Falmouth etc. Weather was a bit crap, but expected for the time of year.

 

Sunday 12th March 2023. Blisworth.

 Not had much time to post of late. Dogs been really ill, so been concentrating on getting him better. 

Moved up through Stoke Bruerne though, gone through the tunnel and now moored in Blisworth sorting the new mooring.

 Frozen in again, at Gifford this time. Looks as if it's going to be for a while as well.

Roll on summer.

Managed to get a home mooring. 😊

 The snow has cleared, and a substantial amount of ice has melted (where it is not shaded). Hoping it clears enough to get onto the nearest waterpoint at some stage.

Meanwhile, the birds are busy busy.

Oh no, whiteness!!

 Canal still frozen, and now the snow makes an appearance.
