Terry's Photographs.
"The HB is THAT way..!"
Just in case you had forgotten what the enemy looks like.
The tea break team talk.
Getting stuck in.
Part of the session's pickings.
Nature Corner.
A Demoiselle.....
.... and a Red Admiral.
Having just pasted the photos above, they are a bit out of sequence...we really did do some work BEFORE tea break 😂.
Although we parked at a new location this week, the job was just the other side of the cycle path and stream from where Stone Farm is (See GG # 843 from a couple of weeks ago). When Mark did the site visit, a few weeks ago, he didn't think there would be enough HB to keep us all busy for a whole session... how wrong could he be..! With plenty of Team GG in attendance, we soon got stuck into plucking the "pink peril" from all along the western banks of Merstone Stream. For most of the time, the stream was just a little shallower than the British Standard Welly Boot but several GGmers found deeper spots which resulted in a boot full of water 😒. Little by little we are s l o w l y working our way along the valley in an attempt to rid it of this pesky plant. Next week we continue the campaign and will be working at the Newclose Cricket Ground (details will be confirmed by email closer to the time).
Many thanks to Terry for the photographs this week.
