 The FoPP spent their February Project Day, working with the Pickerings Pasture Ranger, in the Unitied Utilities area, where there is a path that leads from Pickerings to the Hale Duck Decoy. The land is marsh and provides a good habitat for all sorts of wild life and, shortly, nesting birds.
This is private land and access to the area is with the permission and support of United Utilities.

 I walked down to Pickerings Pasture today, the 13th February 2009, around 11am, to rub lard on the trees near the hide and push bird seed into it, to feed the birds. It was a quiet, calm and dry winter morning. I applied the lard and seed and within minutes the area was alive with greenfinch, chaffinch, blue tits and great tits taking seed from the tree trunks and dunnock, robins and blackbirds taking the dropping bits from the ground. Then a greater spotted woodpecker arrived, moving round a tree and taking it's time to pick at the seed that was clinging to the lard.
