Had a quick walk around the front nine of the Blue first thing this morning. On the 6th you can find Pennyroyal, which is a type of mint and grows just behind the pond. It is a rare plant in Britain, although it is quite widespread in Europe and Asia.

There are lots of Great Spotted and Green Woodpeckers with young around the course at the moment. These two Green Woodpeckers were part of a family group on the 8th.

This juvenile Great Spotted was on the back tee on the 8th.

High above the 8th I could just about make out the characteristic silhouette of a Peregrine. I see them from time to time, usually high on the thermals

There are quite a lot of birds around the reservoir at the moment. Swallows, Sand Martins and Swifts all hunting flies and a flock of Linnets and Greenfinches are feeding on the seeds.
