It was a very sunny morning today but the top lake was completely frozen over and the bottom lake had only a small space of open water. For some reason there were lots of Mallards on the bottom lake today, 34 in all.
Spent some time this morning with the Woodsmen, spreading the piles of chippings along the pathways as a temporary surface. There is a public event tomorrow so this will make the access a lot easier for everyone.
There has been a lot of Woodpecker activity lately with plenty of drumming. There are quite a lot of trees that have holes made by the Woodpeckers This is a picture of one of those trees. You can just make out the holes in the branches.
This unusual visitor has appeared overnight, not quiute a fairy of the Dell , but a little person all the same.
Here's apicture of the Tyne Tees camera crew that came down to do some filming to show how the money from the Lottery is being spent.

Congratulations on the work you are doing to bring Fairy Dell back from the neglect it has suffered over the past few years.
I have just recieved a copy of you newsletter from a friend, It would appear the residents of Tollesby Hall have inadvertently been omitted from your mailing list.
As we live at close to the Ladgate Lane (Slip Inn Bank) access to Fairy Dell I was wondering if you have any plans to renovate this neglected area?
Compared with the other major Beck valleys this is somewhat of a disgrace to the town. Fences and gates have been distroyed the pathways and steps almost impassable the beck silted up and not least the carpark looks like a a rubbish tip. Even the council allowed the road repairers to dump asphalt.
Any news you may have on this would be gratefully recieved.
