Heroes and Squabs

Wednesday, June 7th 2017

After the rather hefty winds and rains overnight it was good to get out and check the green route for any wind-blown branches. To do this I had help from a Help For Heroes Pathfinders group.

We were able to walk the route cutting back any branches over hanging the path or obstructing the route with time to stop and take in the glorious tranquillity of Risedale Beck. As we were up above the beck we removed a few of the marker posts to re-stain and touch up.

 
 Also at Foxglove today, the garrison medical centre had a team building event on the reserve…

... seen here enjoying the various sights and facilities of the reserve.

During one of our nest box checks we found a couple of Stock Doves chicks called squabs. This little guy was too small to ring yet.
