Trimley Marshes Reserve

Lots of management work achieved today thanks to a Green Team from the Environment Agency. Ten enthusiastic youngsters chopped (bow-sawed) their way through the hedge and burnt the brash. The baked potatoes and camp fire soup was great and the camaraderie was even better. The fire was burning well and it was becoming darker by the minute when someone produced a big bag of marsh mallows; the day was finished off with a well earned natter and toasted marsh mallows.

I would like to thank Andrew Rainie and his team from the Environment Agency for all their hard work and for making the day a great success.

There was no time to look for birds today but we did flush a Woodcock earlier in the morning and when we packed up some of us saw a Short-eared Owl.
