Sixteen adults and two children turned up on Sunday for our first work party of the year, focusing on removing willow from the southern end of the reserve, which we want to remain a wet area, suitable for wintering snipe and good in the summer for hares and skylarks.
Hard work it has to be said, lots of digging and pulling and swinging mattocks! David and Tim instead worked on creating the anchors for the new tern raft and Frieda and Emily were busy mapping water levels around the site.
And we even had a visit from Nick Watts OBE of Vine House Farm, who was visiting the reserve for the first time and offering thoughts on how we can best manage it for wildlife!
