Hedgelaying at Alderley Edge on 11th December 2016

Mince pies were provided for the last MNTV workday before Christmas.  We had fine weather and a good stretch of hedge to go at.  The twelve volunteers split into pairs (and a trio) and got quite a lot of hedge laid and brash burnt.  The sun nearly came out, the sheep in the field came over to investigate and the group ornithologist clocked up some fieldfares, nuthatches and a tree creeper, amongst others.  On a day like today hedgelaying is a pleasant mixture of problem solving and outdoor exercise.  We will be back again at Alderley in the New Year to carry on with the hedge.
