Bang and the alders gone - 17/12/09

Every one else had thursday off apart from me so i did a number of smaller tasks.

The day started with making sure the feeding point was stocked up, with nuts and grains.

There was an area of scrub clearance that had started to regenerate along the mother drain.  I was left the task of removing this alder regrowth with loppers.  Whilst clearing the area the wind suddenly picked up and a heavy snow shower started, fortunately most of the area had been cleared and I retreated into the warmth.
