Graham Nash fished Beckerings Reservoir and managed an upper double common but it was the attentions of a fox during the night which Graham will remember as despite chasing the fox away several times it kept coming back keeping him awake for a long time. Please do not feed the foxes at Beckerings and do not leave food out which they may scavenge.
Also at Beckerings, Paul Cheadle spotted what he thinks is a large ghost common and has sent in a picture. Ian fisher managed two single figure mirrors and a 17lb common.
