Sheepwatch meeting

Thank you to everyone that turned up today to meet to chat about Sheepwatching.

One thing mentioned was when walking around the grassland area, if we could pull up the occasional ragwort plants, making sure that you remove all of the plant including the base leaves. The plant is poisonous to livestock. Although the sheep will avoid it to begin with, when the grass is all eaten they will browse on it.

Attached is a photo of the plant in flower.
