Pre-jungle season is running out soon. Time to tackle goat pen #3.
Difficult access, the former outdoor service pit was in front of it, which is now just a ditch. I scooped up some dirt and built a causeway, then got rid of the ingrown fence and creeper roots.
Now I can drive the mower into there and keep it from overgrowing again.
The thorny fuckers inside got chipped into the hole and the non-thorny shrubbery got chipped onto the new causeway.
Treasure so far: The usual bunch of steel, a large concrete chunk and enough scrap wood for a few sauna sessions. Some of it even already dry.

Goat pen #2 defenced. This was a horrible mess. The fence was buried deep and dozens of thorny fuckers had integrated themselves with it.
After much trying to free things up, I just tore it up with the excavator and dragged out the pieces. Still had to cut a few of them.
Then dug out the thorny fucker roots so they don't come back and sifted through where the fence had been. Only a few chunks of steel by the gate, but glad I found them as they do make a mess of the mower when you hit them.
Same for the bricks that came out and the rotavator.
Some of the soil was still frozen, which didn't help at all.
