Activities:

- bad weather was expected mid morning, so we concentrated on things close at hand
- dug up some Ragwort near the tool store
- dug up bracken on South Heath plus the odd birch away from the trough area.
- Tidied up the new inspection traps, which the ponies had messed up
- lookered the South Heath Ponies.  Ron and Martin Had checked the other ponies in the last two days.
- tidied up some of the mess / strange objects around the roller stand.  There were some new things.  needs watching.
- forced the locks ( easy) on the agricultural Pesticide container.  Contains some herbicide and some colourant.
- left photos for the Sunday group

Rain stopped play at coffee time, and appear set in for the day as forecast.  So we left.

Observations:
- stonechats on SH, tree pipit, cuckoo
- unlikely that John's rearranged hot air balloon flight would go ahead.
