Present: John, Mike, Keith and Martin
Activities:
- unpacked, documented, sorted and stored Alan's equipment that Alice had left for us
- lookered the ponies
- discussed the new Pony Ember with all and Monty
- Keith has taken two nestboxes to be refurbished
- did the last part of the nestbox count. One dead female redstart in one box with 6 eggs. No obvious cause.
- improved the ground around the main post of the kissing gate, with stones and soil and turf.
- pulled up and loppered lots of silver birch and a few remaining pine on area opposite forester's cottage. There is still much work to be done here. The brash was deposited in the woods nearer the stream.
- some bracken destruction, but they are still only just emerging. There is evidence of frost damage.
Observations:
- Ravens calling a little
- woodlark, tree pipits, redstarts, tree creeper singing
- map of reserve pinned to tractor shed door
