Wetland Worky Day

The bunds on the wetland were strimmed today to knock back the Gorse and Hawthorn that has started to encroach on this relatively new habitat. It is hoped that the sheep will graze this area and help to naturally keep it down.
Whilst checking the pipes that control the flow of water over this part of the reserve, signs of Water Vole were found and underneath the reptile refuge a Field mouse scampered from it's nest.
Meanwhile, the sheep were doing their job keeping on top of any new growth on the middle moor. Nice stripes!
