This is my very first blog so be kind. Having just acquired 10 acres of marsh, reed bed and mixed plantation this blog is a diary of how it will be turned into a nature reserve, step by step, over the next 5 years and beyond.

The intention is to post the highs and lows of this journey, probably with more pictures than words.

Happy to take any advice from the ‘experts’ out there as I am a complete novice ( on both blogging and nature reserves!)
