Nesting Curlews

Roderick and I arrived to find that Clive had kindly moved the topping stones that we’d sorted out to the stile and wall.


On arriving at the wall we noticed the new signs that have been erected warning of the nesting Curlews and asking for dogs to be kept on a lead.  Clive came over later and said that they were nesting in a field adjacent to the pile of stones in his farmyard.

We placed the toppers, with the occasional adjustment of the previous course, to complement the rise in the ground level approaching the style.  We decided to leave an overhanging topper as trimming it might have caused a break along a fracture line and ruin the stone.  Clive asked for the bottom step up to the style be changed to a smaller one which we were happy to oblige.

We then moved all the spare walling stone to the roadside so that Clive could move it at a later date.
