Strimming session

Saturday, July 25th 2009

Today Andrew has his first strimming session. He enjoyed cutting back the long grass on the path behind the lake hide. Andrew will be here for 3 days a week for the next year or so as part of his course.

This Brown China-mark moth was seen laying eggs at the pond-dipping platform in the scrapes. It has a caterpillar which is aquatic.
