The 1st Great Barford Brownies kicked off our Big Garden Birdwatch event at The Lodge today, and smiled through the drizzle and rain! Many of the Brownies had already completed their own Big Garden Birdwatch surveys at home, and came along for a guided walk to see the birds at The Lodge. Large flocks of tits and finches were visiting the feeders and the group added several bramblings and siskin to their list. After the rain subsided, we had a busy spell, where we made fat balls and served home made tomato soup. so all in all a great day!
Earlier in the day, the blades were lifted into place on the wind turbine, completing the major installation work in under a week.
