October already were has the year gone since my last blog in July a very wet and miserable summer has passed. August was the wettest since 2012 and made putting in the new western boundary path near impossible September did not do us any favours either with just short of 200mm new money 7and 5/8inches old but the volunteers have persisted and this week we set the final bits of geogrid so now just the tidying up and putting in seats and fence rails around the new pond and some moving of reed for cover.
on the bird front the whoopers have come back with 12 feeing on spilt cereal in the next field, golden plover and dunlin are back.
Pink footed,barnacle and pale bellied brent geese are back in the area with large scene's heading towards Stranraer also white fronted geese back at west freugh.
