Lots of great stuff!

Hey everyone,

Since my last post we have been pretty busy on the Fen,

Last week Lois our Community Officer and I visited Waterbeach Primary School. We spent the day helping with the planting of a community orchard in the school grounds with parent volunteers, and improving the wildlife area with the help of some year 6 students. We got the seal of approval from the kids who said "it was better than working in class!"

I also went to the National Trust's Regional Spring conference last week, which was a great opportunity to see how other properties in the region are doing, and what projects they are up to, a highlight was a slideshow showing these projects: featuring our Vision Warden John with our shiny new tractor!

This week we have been repairing woodpecker holes in the Old Tower hide, and doing some tree work!

The wildlife highlight of the week definitely came on Wednesday, when I saw a Marsh Harrier go for a coot out of Brett's hide, luckily for the Coot it escaped!

Jack.
