Mend and Make Good

Thursday, September 21st 2017

Today was a bitty day where we were able to clear a few jobs and start a few others which will set the direction going into autumn and winter. We started with checking the mink rafts, which thankfully showed no signs, and ensuring the wasps were no longer present at the Lake hide. We put the replacement parts on a couple of strimmers….

 ….Peter was cutting net rides and at the end of the day we tested the brushcutters we had put spares on.

Glennis had found this Bronze Shield Bug in its final instar. There is one generation per year; the nymphs feed on plants as well as the larvae of other insects, particularly caterpillars. Early instars may appear similar to those of the Blue Bug. New adults may be found from July onwards.

Mike and Tony did the usual water checks and we spoke late afternoon of a strategy regarding some areas where we have on going dam problems. Mike went and helped clear some brash while Tony completed the bi-annual water checks for nitrates and phosphate.

Christine helped sort the calendar competition photos which will be judged tomorrow.

Thank you to all who helped today. Another fun and productive day.
