All the grazing animals are now on the reserve areas and there are many sets of cows and calves that always raise a smile as the calves barely seem big enough to be out in the fields, their ear tags often like large earrings, bigger than the ears themselves. Working with graziers at this time of year is an important part of the reserve management as we rely on the farming practises to provide the management we need. For the first time we have got cows grazing in Goosemoor, which is our saltmarsh reversion project as we look to manage the vegetation which has started to get rather tall and thick and certainly not ideal for the wetland birds we are trying to encourage to the site. The Galloways known for their love to stand in water seem to have settled in there and are enjoying their time by the seaside and already having an impact.
