The remainder of August was largely spent on the reserve replacing old fencing and installing new gates around the reserve. We haven’t had any sheep grazing the improved fields this year, so cattle have been put in some of these fields instead. Before the cattle were moved in we had to make sure the old fencing was strong enough for a herd of cattle and the odd raging bull! A few extra gates were erected to separate the herds and rotate the fields to prevent overgrazing. Normally the cattle would be solely residing in the grazing marsh areas of the reserve.
Gate installation Warden style
You beauty, you can’t beat crowing about a new bit of fencing you helped put up and the gate has a wonderful action too
Eh up, Yorkshire Tea, marvellous. Just one thing missing those fig rolls, when’s Pete back in again?
