Present:
Mike m, David a, John, John b, Keith, Pat, Stuart, Paul, Terry, David w, and Martin
Activities:
- looked the ponies and cattle
- bracken pulling over large area both sides of the stream, including work on the plateau. Some birch also pulled up
- put up markers for the bracken sprayers to keep the badger sett safe
- tried out splitting the birch logs near the crossroads, with little success
- inspected the state of the pond up the stream after the recent heavy rains. Mostly fine, but some work clearly necessary
Observations:
- dry, not much wind, but not very warm
- nightjar flushed during bracken work
- found barn owl feather near the quarry
- orchid out near the crossroads
- some dragonflies about
- is pied wagtail breeding at cottages?
- probably 16 odd longtail tits there as well
