Surveyed the trees on the eastern side of the site today. Also did some litter picking and spoke to quite a few members of the public interested in what I was doing and where the sheep had gone!

Friday 17th April
An interesting stroll round the meadows. Starting to really see red clover and ox-eye daisy leaves but no sign of flowers yet. A few cowslips in the north eastern corner which I haven't noticed in previous years otherwise only ground ivy and dandelions flowering at the moment.
A bit of litter at all the benches so I will come and clear that early next week. Progress picture looks somewhat the same except the hedge is greening up nicely. A bit obscured by the rain!
Finally, a lovely NHS tribute made by one of the neighbours on the boundary fence.
