Today was my second day on the reserve for my work experience placement that lasts until Thursday. I was out with the volunteer work party today mending fences near the hide and putting up a new electric fence. We also put up the marquee for the Barbecue tomorrow, although I hope it doesn't rain because it's not the most waterproof of things. Unfortunately unlike yesterday we didn't get mobbed by cows, but we did see lots of house martins and swifts darting above our heads. I've had a great but very tiring day, and I look forward to doing it again tomorrow!

...and it was great having a young and enthusiastic helper with us old fogeys! It didn't rain until we'd enjoyed the BBQ. Sorry you weren't there Charlotte.
