This is a record of a 4 acre piece of land we own near Saxmundham in Suffolk, UK. We aquired it in August 2008 at which time it had been out of cultivation for 4 years. The only management it had until we took it on was mowing and grazing ponies. The previous owner left us with an old mobile home and a quantity of debris which needed clearing up. Since then we have developed it as a small, privately owned, nature reserve with an emphasis on creating biodiverse habitats including good provision to encourage barn owls. We enjoy sharing the meadow with friends and family and writing about it in our blog tiggins.wordpress.com. We also have a website at wildabouttiggins.org/
