Many thanks from the club to the 11 members who took part. The weather was kind to us and a great deal was achieved. The contractor using a flail, has made a massive difference to the scrub area between the main hide and the public hide. We hope that we can maintain this area as a ‘hay meadow’ which should benefit the orchids that were previously swamped.
In addition, the gull roost can now be viewed from the road side without bushes impeding the view and the willow has been cut back in an effort to prevent it taking over the ponds and reed bed.
