I love the outdoors and have spent most of my adult working life gardening or doing conservation work.
For the last year i have been wardening at my local nature reserve in my village. The reserve is a old railway track that we are cutting back to it's natural grass chalk land.
The Track
Next to the track is a large Field which is under stewardship by a local Farmer but is still classed as being part of the nature reserve. |

My main duties as a warden is to document the wildlife that i see. I'm Lucky and get to see lots of different wildlife from birds, dears, rabbits, grass snakes, common lizards and most of all butterflies.

As well as looking after the wildlife i manage the site, keeping the track clear of rubbish, and taking people on guided walks around the reserve.
On my next Blog i will talk about my other site that i help with.
