 I had a brief walk around the Blue and Red courses this morning.  I think that there is one pair of Egyptian Geese left after the territorial dispute and they have raised three chicks.  They are usually found around the pond on the 3rd.

There are plenty of other young birds around the course at the moment, including this Dunnock on the 5th Red.

Field Pansies are quite common, but are still one of my favourite Frilford flowers.  They grow on the Blue course, including in the car park at the Tubney range, but are quite small and inconspicuous.

I am often amazed and amused at where I find golf balls in my visits to the more remote areas of the three courses.  This ball was embedded in the branch of the tree to the left of the 5th hole on the Blue.
