Make a Difference Day - 24 October

21 volunteers and 3 members of RSPB staff attended Snape Warren Reserve to clear gorse and birch from the heath. This is intended to benefit breeding heathland birds such as woodlark, nightjar and Dartford warbler (which were seen during the day) as well as some invertebrates. Despite the somewhat damp conditions a substantial area was cleared and spirits were maintained by a roaring fire in which potatoes were baked for lunch.
