As I was watching some Great Crested Grebes, offshore and a few Common Scoter the mobile began to ring, by the way my mobile had a wobbly over the weekend and I've lost some telephone numbers!
It was regular dog walker Brian who was actually within shouting distance, to tell me there was a problem with the fence in GF2.
Wednesday team - this was the problem AGAIN.

| the fence must be six foot high now! |
Sand build up due to the strong easterlies meaning the cattle could just walk over the top strand of barbed wire, oh wonderful.
Luckily it's Monday which means that the great volunteers from mencap Cymru are usually on site for a litter pick or a task, well here was a task.
Needless to say after two hours in the pouring rain another line of barbed wire is in place, totalling 100m?, its not the neatest of jobs but it should hold them a while.
Long term the line of the fence will need to moved well inland as the accretion of sand continues, which in itself is not a bad thing......
A HUGE thanks to the guys from mencap Cymru who were all thoroughly soaked through after two hours in the rain.
Still hundreds of LAPWING on the reserve, a few corpses that have been scavenged.
