Back to Kettlesing School for the third week. It is a popular venue for us and 14 volunteers turned up despite the weather forecast. 6 of us worked to complete the reinstating of the dry stone wall by the new field gate with a great result.

Sub-team one (the wallers) with everyone else getting in on the act too! The quality of the walling put the rest of the old wall to shame. (Tony missed the photo shoot whilst discussing yet another conservation project with the head teacher at the school - bird box installation work with the children.)
The others worked really hard in persevering with the post and rail fence. Many more posts were inserted and more rabbit-proof netting was attached. Incredibly, by 4pm, the job was finished and both sides of the field were fenced in.

| Sub-team number two - four speedy fencers in action. |
 |
| Sub-team number three - putting the final touches to the first stretch of fence. |
The final result - rabbit problem solved (?)
The weather worsened unfortunately during the afternoon, as forecast by Paul Hudson. Wet and muddy kit was the order of the day. Congratulations to those who stuck it out to the end. Many thanks to the school for the big tin of chocolates - extra food is always appreciated by the volunteers!
