Saturday was our workday at Raw Nook LNR. Our task was to clear the Rosebay Willowherb and Bramble from the lowland heath habitat.

Even though we cleared the area last year it was becoming choked so it had to be cleared.

The day was very humid making the work even harder but after a few hours it was cleared.

Clare and Richard were both very eagle eyed as Clare found a moth a Dusky Footman which is a new species for the reserve as I have only recorded it at Caldene fields but never at Raw Nook LNR.
Then Richard spotted a movement in the heather which turned out to be a lovely common Toad…
You would think we had been working in TOAD holes Beck!
