Yesterday, Michael and I watched the last of our three new wind pumps being installed on the Marshes.
Stalwart contractors M.Gould spent last week preparing the foundations for them and have worked with our wind pump supplier Aquatic Control Engineering (ACE) Ltd. this week on the installation.
The pumps (funded by Natural England and Biffaward) will now enable us to pump water on to the site to maintain high water levels in the ditches and a high water table in the fields. This should then help to create the ideal breeding conditions for wading birds such as lapwings that we hope to attract.
have seen them as I've driven past, they look good :-)
