Present:
Monty, Liza, Michelle, Peter were there for the Pony round-up
John, Ron, Neil, Mike and Martin continued on afterwards
Activities:
- rounding up the Ponies, which went extremely well. Since Bob was meant to come with the lorry at 11 am, which was rather tight, and then appeared at 10 am !!! Anyway all signed sealed and delivered in time for us all to go back to the tractor shed for some coffee. Ponies to be stationed south of Falmer, at Woodingdean. The foal looked a bit squashed and hesitant, but should be OK.
- went along to the high beeches to dig some of the ponds, including Amex pond.
- cleared saplings near those ponds, adding brash to an existing wood pile. Pollarded a fallen Pine and Birch which were starting to get away.
- cleared saplings from the slope the the south of the Beeches on the slope down to the stream. This used to be an area for the silver studded blue.
Observations:
- still too dry for many bonfires. Every water source is pretty dry.
- couple of woodlarks above the High Beeches
- Raven seen and heard a few times
- Kestrel around
- siskins
