Saturday 17th May 2008. Work Party.

Stephen, Kevin and Keith along with his wife and son plus myself attended the second work day on the shoot. As you can see from the photo's two wind breaks were installed in the Worthy Park pen, kindly modelled by Charlie and Cody. The breaks were built on either side of the pen offering the birds some relief from any wind on each direction. It will also allow under cover feeding stations.

The materials were salvage from the old pen site plus a few posts from the farm yard.

Work started approx 9.30am and finished by 2.00pm. Once the weed killer has been applied to the fencing and killed off the green stuff we will be able to complete the additional work required before the birds arrive i.e. two more pop holes to be installed, electric fence check etc etc.

I have suggested that two work parties dates to be arranged for June thus allowing work on the other pens to be completed in time prior to the arrival of the birds which I believe begins in July.

Martin has six feed hoppers now at his garage to overhaul which were collected yesterday.
