The Head of Army Basing visits Foxglove

Tuesday, October 30th 2018

Today we had a visit from Belinda Vern, the Head of Army Basing, who was given a little insight into what Foxglove is about. Starting with a short walk from the bus shelter to the Lake Hide, down through the Scrapes, then to the Field Centre to warm up and a look around the eduction room and bird ringing room. It was unfortunately too brief a visit to get any photographs.  

A look back at yesterday with a sunny frosty morning on the drive onto the reserve. 

We have been continuing with the Willow Carr coppice behind the Field Centre with our regular Tuesday volunteers. We have moved onto felling and pollarding the Hawthorn trees, which made for a hot fire.
