Once again we welcomed on site a work party from the Princes Trust. They saved me a lot of backache by helping move a couple of trailer loads of garden stone from a nearby neighbours garden to the reserve.

They also helped move a donated kennel from the same neighbour, having prepared the area they relocated the kennel and then gave it a nice camo paint job.

While this was happening another group started one of my observation mounds, this will eventually have a seat that provides a view over the reed bed.
