Farewell party

Tuesday, June 21st 2011

The cabins received a bit of TLC in preparation for the Open Day (July 23rd)!!! Here is Geordie painting the inside of the 'snap' cabin! This will be the 'Lepidoptera Suite'!

And the old ringing hut, seen here being painted by Fiona, will house the bird feed and fat ball demonstrations!

Volunteers also continued to weed the heathland before a farewell party for Marion, who is moving on to pastures new.

Leaving party

During her time here, Marion has bought a new meaning to '5 a day' and Reed Mace is the latest on the menu!

Good luck Marion, we all wish you all the best for the future.
