Brownsea Island

If you'd like to know a bit more about our beloved Brownsea Island - the nature reserve where we go rhododendron clearing - then listen to:

Quite disconcerting to hear the voice of someone we know well, Chris Thain, on the radio.

(My mother-in-law, the incomparable Molly, phoned me up an hour ago and said "You'll want to listen to this" and she was right.)

I heard this this morning. Much amused by the fact you can't have ravens (a British bird) together with egrets (not a British bird) and that the person being interviewed seemed most desperate to hang onto the Mediterranean incomers.

However, I was really glad to hear about the ravens, and that the avocets and red squirrels are doing so well.
