It was certainly gusty at times but nothing to really affect us working, however the effect on the dunes is very evident, we have lost a fair bit of dune frontage at the eastern end of the reserve, what is eroding is being blown back over the top and drowning the cattle fence.

Repairs made (it's not pretty even by our standards) but for how long....

| Now try it.. or rather don't ... |
The cattle, a mixture of heifers and bullocks, mostly Hereford types but some mixed parentage; are looking well and are certainly tough enough for the coastal conditions, they showed great interest in the vehicles as we drove through the field today, something we rarely bother to do, the bullock which is un-polled looked pretty determined to stop me in my tracks, you know like the David Attenborough films of Rhinos eyeing up the trucks.......(he's not in this photo)
A look for Owls didn't pay off today perhaps a combination of huge tides and the strong winds has moved them to dryer parts of the reserve.
Colder, dryer weather forecast could be great for Owls and Harriers, so come and visit and please report your sightings.
