Title: topping
Post by: philcaegrug on April 14, 2015, 09:53:24 pm

Topped the rushes today. Earliest I've ever been able to do this as the ground was quite dry only a few wet patches.Is this a sign of global warming reaching Wales? :thinking:

We have curlew and lapwing here, as well as snipe, grouse, partridge and pheasant, so topping this early in the year is a no-no.

I've chained a couple of the drier fields but the others still have damp patches so global warming has missed my acreage...
