Laura and I joined a bigger group of volunteers from Friends of Haymill/Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxford Wildlife Trust to continue clearing down the reed beds and chopping down willow and brambles and transporting it back to 'base camp' where a team were adding to the deadwood hedge started last month. Charlotte joined us later on and unfortunately had to cut short her visit as her cute dog Toby had a sore claw. Luckily one of the volunteers Callum is trained in animal care and was able to give her good advice. Hopefully Toby won't feel woof for much longer.
