Caught today at Kelsey Gardens

This beauty was caught by Alex Hewitt today in North Lake weighing in at 19 pounds 15 ounces. During his 48 hour session he also reeled in three more ghostly commons at 11lb 12 oz, 12lb 8oz and 17lb. He followed this up with a mirror weighing in at 13 1/2lb.His advice is to find the clear patches in between the weed and do your homework then you will be laughing.

Birdwatching taster session - May 15th

This is a chance for anyone interested in Birdwatching to take a stroll around Kelsey Gardens with local expert Michael Flowers. Not only will he be helping you to identify the many bird species found here but he will also be talking about the flowers and butterflies.
Michael runs very popular birdwatching courses throughout the year all around the East Yorkshire area so this is your chance to see what it is all about.

The start is at Kelsey Gardens at 10am. Refreshments will be available before and after the event. Wear clothes and footwear suitable for the weather.

There is a small charge of £5 to participate. Booking is essential as places are limited. Ring Ian on 07973909026 to secure a place.
