Ladybirds and sledging!

Several volunteers came to Foxglove to have a walk around and look at future works. The deep snow meant that coppicing has been put on hold.
The Kidney-spot ladybirds are now over wintering as adults on the Ash trees where they were seen as pupae earlier in the year. Here you can see John getting some close up shots of them!
In the afternoon Brian helped to fill the bird feeders. The usual wheelbarrows and trolley were of no use in the snow but Brian found a brilliant alternative to transport the sacks of grain to the hoppers!
