‘Ne’er cast a clout till May be out’

Wednesday, April 3rd 2013

Birdwatching for Beginners was a successful event with the children spotting 21 species during the morning session. They learnt how to identify many different birds from Siskin and Goldfinch to Great Spotted Woodpecker. 18 of these species were seen from the warmth of the classroom. The donated telescope was perfect to see the birds up close.

Outside, treeplanting continued. The end is now in sight after many weeks of hard work in cold weather conditions.

Some very hardy visitors tested out the new stone seating for a picnic. The sun shone for a brief time during their lunch! 'Ne'er cast a clout till May be out' is an English proverb that maybe should be abided by!

Finally, Elizabeth took this lovely photo of Roe Deer in the clear fell area. They seem to be glad that the snow is thawing reavealing the vegetation once more.
