On the opposite side of the pond and in the marsh coppicing and dead hedge proceeded apace. Hedge will keep dogs out of the marsh and carr. There's lots to do in this section to keep the open mosaic.

While rebuilding a log pile at #AshlawncuttingLNR There was a bright flash and loud hissing as these 2 Peacock butterflies showed their alarm reflex. Log was replaced carefully and the pilke rebuilt around and over it.

One of Rugby's open spaces officers shared this sad image of a beautiful bird that collided with the town hall. Woodcock that may have been feeding with Redwings in the adjacent park.

Today we finished the annual cut and rake of grasslands at Newbold Quarry just before it rained. We'll be focussing on scrub control and some tree felling to expand the areas of calcareous grassland until Spring.
