Some readers will remember articles on this site about Jack Snipe and the very valuable site we have which is very good for this species. However, I have been aware for some time that Willow is encroaching and if left this aggressive plant would take over the site and destroy its suitability for Jack snipe. Something needed to be done. Having explored all options with the manager of the land the remaining option was brute force.
So a call to arms went out to our group and friends and after three morning sessions over the last week, we have made a significant impact on the willows-especially in the area which the Jack and Common Snipe favour.
We know it's temporary but it will give us breathing space to work out a longer term solution. As you can see from the picture it was pretty back breaking work having to bend and snip every plant as close to the ground as possible--but all credit to the team -they worked brilliantly and produced an excellent result--a big THANKS from me on behalf of the snipe which will be arriving towards the end of September.
The team are hard at it and -yes that IS Glynn in the foreground who took party in EVERY session now that he is a fully converted team player...….( thanks Glynn)
This lovely group of Red Deer were just starting to move but as you can see even they stopped and did a double take just to check that it was Glynn there for his third session...….( thanks Glynn)
On a more sober note--the superb Reed Bunting nest I showed in a recent post was a victim of some of the torrential showers we've been having. The nest was on dry ground when we found it but unfortunately as you can see, after the rain it was in a small puddle and the eggs were now floating
It's a great shame--but ever resilient as birds are--the pair are still on the patch and by the look of their behaviour they have set up another nest site nearby--lets just hope it's a bit higher and drier!!
