Varied Work

Monday, November 25th 2019

All the bird feeders have been brought in to be cleaned and repaired. Putting them back together is an ideal indoor job when the rain continues to come down.

Carla is working on our bird data and is coming up with some really interesting facts and figures. She started off looking at some of the summer migrants but is now looking at Tawny Owls and Kestrels. We are looking forward to her presentation later in the year.

There are often big tasks to be carried out, especially in the winter, but small repairs are recorded on the 'todo' list. The wire on a piece of boardwalk along the heath had worn so it was replaced.
