A number of the Friends of the Queslett Nature Reserve and members of the public spent an interesting morning watching bird ringing taking place on the Queslett Nature Reserve today.Dozens of wild birds were caught identified and ringed. We were also given a talk on the wild life in the reserve.Later in the afternoon a number of FOQNR volunteers helped Council officers who were working on their day of to carry out tree pruning on the site.To all those who came along can I thank you very much and hope you enjoyed the events.
