It was back to Summerbridge nature reserve this week to use our new found hurdle making skills to construct small hurdles to act as path edging through Banks Wood. This woodland on the reserve is going to be proposed as a SINC site due to the amount of biodiversity within its boundaries, so it is important that anyone walking through keeps to the path and doesn't go tramping off piste, flattening all the wild flowers.
The photos below show how the team got on with the task.....
A murky start to the day.
the gate hinges to allow access to the wood.
Before hurdling could start the raw materials had to be
gathered and brought to where they were needed.
hurdle builders were able to get weaving.
Nice job!!
Coffee time amidst the flowers. How nice!
There was almost no coffee time flapjack from Audrey this week -
she had made some but was too busy feeding a baby robin to deliver it.
Her neighbour saved the chick from a cat but the parent can’t be found.
Audrey has fed it a woodlouse, a centipede, and a worm she cut up.
Tony did the good deed and picked up the goodies.
Let's hope no bits of worm found their way into the mix!

It is a tough job that almost finished off her!
