\nAt Thrupp Lake today, two members of The Earth Trust were there with leaflets encouraging visitors to become involved by joining as a friend of Earth Trust<\/a>, not to be confused with Friends of the Earth.
\n
\nThey do not own Thrupp Lake but they do help care for the area.
\n
\nThere was a group of three tufted ducks that frequently dived together. This is a male and female and there was\u00a0 also a second male.
\n
\nThe black headed gull is an inland bird and not a ‘seagull’ and there were lots bobbing on the water and flying about and making a lot of noise. I had never heard Thrupp Lake quite so noisy, what with them screeching, and geese honking.
\n
\nThe Radley Lakes Trust<\/a> is working with landowners to protect and enhance the area, and there are new noticeboards on the walk round by the Railway where there are shallower wetlands

\nThere I saw a couple of lapwings.
