Pond dipping with the Bracknell Forest Rangers

 

Thank You to the Bracknell Forest Rangers, we had a great time.

Over the last month or so the Kestrel and Kingfisher Beavers and the Falcon Cubs have had a special treat courtesy of the Bracknell Forest Rangers.

An evening of pond dipping at the Lookout, being let loose with a net to see what they could find in one of the ponds there, having an expert and some sheets to help identify their catches made this really special.

The photo's below are of the Cubs visit and I know that the Beavers had as much fun as well, we had to drag them away otherwise they would have stayed all night.
