21st December Bicester Wetland Reserve

Conservation update: huge thanks to the team of volunteers under the direction of Reg Tipping who put in around 200 hours work during the last 10 days to help us plant 939 large hedge whips, making up around  200 metres of Conservation Hedge. The hedge will eventually screen the walkway to the "new hide" overlooking Cattle Bridge Pool, replace some of the lost hedge destroyed when the railway line was upgraded and offer nesting and feeding opportunities to our wildlife.

Birds today:
8 Snipe
100 plus Teal
16 Gadwall
6 Shoveler
4 Little Grebe
1 Sparrowhawk
2 GSW
3 Heron
30 Canada Geese
