18th August: Sorting out Shorebird kit

The breeding season is now over, so it's time to collect in all the fencing and other kit that was used to protect the sensitive breeding areas on the Reserve.

Some very high tides in July meant the fencing had been washed out of the sand and was now a seaweed-infested, tangled mess - which volunteers and staff had the delightful job of cleaning and untangling!

Neatly rolled up fencing and triumphant smiles!
