Emma was a hard act to follow after her Easter cakes for the Saturday volunteer work party team, but Sally rose to the challenge and the Tuesday team enjoyed a real treat (see below). Now it' the birds turn to produce some eggs and we can only hope that this cold weather breaks soon so that the breeding season can get under way. If readers of this blog get the impression that the volunteers do little more than eat cake, perhaps these photos will show that they put in plenty of effort to burn off those calories. The Tuesday task was to finish clearing up after the contractors who put up the fence around our latest grazing paddock. We used the logs and brash to create some more habitat piles for the reserve's wildlife. The photo of the team may show a cloudless sky, but the wind was icy cold and you'll notice that everyone is well wrapped up.
