Obviously no-one told the weather its gold cup week because today, with James at Sherborne, was a cracking warm sunny spring day. The mornings task was spent at Rack Isle, Bibury and involved repairing 2 sections of the rail fence and coppicing some of the remaining willow stands. As a bonus we carried out a survey of Rack Isle which revealed a healthy population of toads, a small number of frogs + frogspawn but sadly no voles or grass snakes. Also making a welcome appearance were grey&piebald wagtails and two buzzards. To complete this pleasant spring day I spotted a Brimstone, my first butterfly of the year, on the return journey to Sherborne. As is usual the coppiced material was removed from Rack Isle and loaded on the trailer. Following James success with creating 2 impressive chairs from the coppiced willow he will be putting todays material to good use, can't wait to see the results .
