I cannot believe it! Everytime I visit the reserve it seems to rain! Today I checked the reserves nature trails before having a meeting on site. The reserve looked great, which more than made up for my soaking.

The afternoon was spent felling a couple of trees on the visitors trail which had become damaged in the recent winds and trying to find the dippers on the river for someone who had never seen them before. Eventually we saw one in front of the New Inn pub, we are so lucky to have them being so obliging on the reserve.
