On Monday this week we were at Rosshall park doing some pond clearing. The group were clearing pond weed so that kids could come over the holidays and do some pond dipping, looking for fish and frogs. Amongst all the piles of pond weed we were bombarded with about 20 to 30 newts but unfortunately as soon as we got the camera out they all disappeared.
On Tuesday we were back at Glasgow Fort for the final time planting Wildflowers. The meadow is looking fantastic and wehave already seen some off the flowers blooming. Very pretty!!!!!
Since it was our last day on this site we took the oportunity to check out the site the group were working on last year which is now looking fantastic!The wildflower meadow has started to attract loads of wildlife now such as Bee’s and Butterflies which Sean got AMAZING pictures of!
On Wednesday and Thursday we were working between Garscadden Park and Garscadden Burn clearing some invasive spiecies like hymilayan balsam and Roseby willowherb. We had a few new volunteers out with us today. Everyone seemed to have loads of fun except from getting bitten loads by horse flies. grrrr.
