Decided to have a quick walk on the patch this morning and was not surprised to see Hope Gap with slightly less trees in it. However the damage is much more than last year and I'm just hoping this isn't going to continue every winter as Hope Gap has proved to be an important area for migrating birds.
On the plus side of things, these extra pathways will provide extra viewing of the area, and with hopefully no dogwalkers entering these areas, it could prove to be very productive.
