The recent dry days have had a marked impact on the reserve and at last it is drying and firming up after a horrendous wet winter. The first bluebells are beginning to flower and give it another week and there should be carpets of bluebells to be seen. The first butterfly transect of this year was walked, but on too cold a day, when only three were seen. Just a little more sun with warmer days and they will be there to be seen, and counted.

What a good day Tuesday turned out to be. Seven of us working, for once, in the dry and with a warm sun, when the wind wasnt blowing! Ok the ground was still very very wet and soft underfoot. But when you are cutting down sapling willow and birch that didnt seem to matter. Judging by the four big piles of brash we created there was a lot of work done. All in good humour, collaboratively working together. Then the satisfaction of looking back to see the area re-opened up, expanding the rich open habitat and knowing you have done something worthwhile. Made a difference.
