Fencing and Jobs

Friday, September 9th 2016

Today was much quieter than yesterday with a lot of time spent preparing for the car boot sale in Bedale tomorrow. However, yesterday the Thursday team set about their tasks with gusto. John was tweaking the outdoor cameras, Mike and Tony did various jobs including repairing feed hopper catches…

…as well as working on the varied water level issues we have at the reserve. Andrew and Stephen filled the bird feeders and Jonathan did some fencing in preparation for the arrival of sheep to graze our flower meadows.

All in all, it was another busy day!
