Hello
Work has got underway on both the reed cutting in the Lee Marsh and the re landscaping of the Draper area, yey. So i have had a fun couple of days chatting to my contractors and watching some fab bits of kit do work that would take us weeks (or months and years in the digger case). I have taken a few snap shots and thought i would share their progress with you.
The truxor has cut a nice chunk of reed bed that is inaccessible to us as it is surrounded by a nice deep ditch and he is starting to rake it up today. Such a clever bit of machinery, the picture below shows the Truxor with the rake attachement clearing up the reed it cut yesterday.
The digger on the draper scrape has been sorting out access to the site including having to fill in a ditch to get out on the scrape and has started to move material around scraping out lower areas on to higer areas in the planned design.
There were around 750 lapwing on lagoon 1 today a great sight. Along the trails were also mixed thrush flocks including field fare and redwing and a number of bullfinch, nice.
Thanks,
Vicky
