Reserve Update Friday 10th June
Three ravens have decided that the platform out from Avenue Tower towards the Merse is the place to be this morning.
Our flock of Hebridean sheep have been moved up to the paddock next to the farmhouse garden to help us graze it down. I am sure they would have come as a mighty surprise to the brown hare that had been hanging around there, although it was seen first thing this morning in corner field.
Today's high tide is at 17:03 8.4m
