At this wetland reserve we worked alongside a group of permanent French volunteers. Willow encroaching on reed-bed habitat was removed but was not wasted. A temporary bird hide was constructed by our group from some of the removed willow so that visitors could still enjoy the many birds that came to the reserve whilst a more permanent hide was constructed over the coming seasons. The willow was bound together and
woven into large screens creating a ‘fortress’ from our combined efforts!
