Birch bashing at Tudeley

Spent most of the morning moving the birch cut earlier in the year and piled in patches around the site to a roaring fire. we probably left enough to make a habitat pile or two.

After lunch, very pleasant, we had a bit of a go at clearing the birch seedlings and bracken to try to give the heather a bit of a chance to flower and thrive. That was slow and very hard work!

Highlight of the day was the appearance on several occasions of some very tame young wild boar that came up to us repeatedly, first as a group of about half a dozen, and then as individuals, presumably expecting food!
