The moat area has had a extensive clean up in the last few weeks, a lot of trees and bushes have been removed ,which in my eyes means a lot of birds will have to find new nesting areas.Its nice to see the site cleaned up and hopefully the work will be kept up. Will be taking regular walks here and hopefully see how this site developes
