Present:
Mike m, Ian, Mike p, Mark, Bernard, Ray, John, David w, David a, Keith, Alan, and Martin.
Activities:
- check Bernard report of archangel in the car park. Cleared some bramble and bracken, but archangel seemed to have disappeared. Maybe some helpful visitor, as while we were away, a dirty nappy disappeared!
- large sweep of bracken pulling along beeches avenue and down to the stream.
- checked state of the bridge. Probably now needs to be formally checked by Swt. Safe at the moment, but thought needs to be put as to it's future
- put up electric tape to protect saplings that the cows have taken a liking to. Put back the tubes. Heavily nibbled
- did some log splitting to speed up drying
- cleared the ragwort along the road up to the old lodge ornamental gates, and at the cricket pitch. Bags taken off site for composting
- investigated new site for old tawny owl nest box, with thought of it becoming a Mandarin duck box
- Mike did some scything along the path to the car park
- Looked the cows
Observations:
- nice working weather
- more painted ladies
- possible migrant hawker
- greenfinch again
- Bulfinch, Raven, Lt tits
