Mark's Photographs.
Congratulations to Team GG .... you finally got to have the session at Sandown Meadows..! This must have been the third (or was it forth?) attempt to work here, each time it had to be cancelled due to the extraordinary amounts of rainfall we have experienced during the winter months (the wettest February on record). Going by the photographs above, it looks a bit soggy underfoot and the light rain turned heavier towards the end - so well done to all that attended.
Mark's Editorial.
Yes finally the waters subsided enough to allow us access to the marsh here. It is perfectly understandable, they are water meadows after all, and it is a flood plain.
Anyway some months ago the reeds had been cut by the Wildlife Trust who today we were working with, so our job now was to move these reeds to a habitat pile. That was hard going in the mud I can tell you. Other jobs included some willow removal and burning. It was fairly wet as the rain increased during the time but a lovely place to work nevertheless. Cetti's Warblers calling and geese flying overhead add to the special atmosphere.
Many thanks to Terry & Mark for the photographs and to Mark for the editorial.
