Another successful Hauxley working party took place just before Christmas in preparation for our new ringing hut. After emptying the store hut last time, the group started work on the base of the hut and the shuttering was completed by the end of the day. John felled a small tree in the wood that would otherwise be in the way and Michael and Mike got the board laid on the old store hut floor.

A waxwing was there to great us when we arrived , and 3 nice bullfinches where in the hedge. Christine supplied the cake for the coffee break and very nice it was too!
