Wednesday Work

Wednesday, May 13th 2015

Work is progressing well on the new waterfowl feeding platform alongside the lake. The base of the platform has now been constructed and you can get some idea of the beautiful views across the lake that our visitors will be able to enjoy.

The base of the boardwalk is going in well, with gentle sweeping curves between the Larch trees.

Butterflies were seen in good numbers as they made the most of the warming sun. This female Orange Tip was seen mating and then laying her eggs on Cuckoo Flower, the larval food plant of this species.

Tony has been working hard around the reserve, spending the morning clearing drainage pipes, before heading out with a mower to cut along pathways and net rides to get the site ready for the second of the CES bird ringing days this Friday.

Thank you to everyone who has helped on the reserve today.

Please note that there is an error on the Fruit and Vegetable Quiz Sheet. Question 19 should read 7 letters not 6.
