Working on a scrape



A fresh Stoat kill at the side of a path


Today three new deal people started at the reserve, as it was their first day the morning was spent showing them around and walking the green route.


Not a bad office!


The afternoon was spent out on the furthest pond that set up to be used by wading birds as a scrape.  The scrape had been cut earlier in the year, but due to the mild weather the rushes had come back strong and needed a second cut.  The afternoon was spent shin deep in the pond following along after the brush cutter raking out the cut reed and then pitching it into piles along the bank.


Sunset to end the day
