Today's work party at MOORS
There were plenty of tasks sorted today.
The main task was clearing the view from the Jacobs hide looking north.
The scrubland between the two west hides has grown leggy and obscured the the view over the reed beds and the northern half of the pool.
Today we pruned some sections of the area and leyered others, this will give us a mosaic of habitat and structural diversity. Attracting a range of breeding and feeding passerines. Much of the brash was piled up against the soil mound on the hedgerow side (Photo 1 before and 2 after the work)
Peter E and Bobby P checked out and cleaned out the bird boxes.
The Salwarp scrub, is being shaded out by willows , today several large trunks along with the hundreds of attached year old shoots were removed.

Several willows along the west side of the causeway were coppiced and a small willow 'hurdle' was created in the middle section on the North Moors side. This will allow views over the NM.
Many thanks to the 13 of us, on what was a very cold day - hopefully in the inaugural 1st Tuesday in the month 'cake day' went well:eat:
