SMEE Update
A few photographs to update you on the progress of the nettle removal by our SMEE Volunteers today who report that
the weather was very kind to them as they tackled the big nettle bed under the coppiced hazel.
There were buzzards overhead (alas no photograph) and also a Large White butterfly and a Red Admiral Butterfly, as well as a number of Common Darter dragonflies still in evidence on the reserve – this one landed on the wheelbarrow!
