Caught this Heron standing fishing in the middle of Washout Pit.

This is where the original farm stood: you can still see its foundations in the short grass. It was abandoned during the early 1960s when most of the farm became part of the gravel pits. Nowadays, the area is a flower rich grassland area, supporting many meadow species. There also used to be a ferry here which would transport people over the river so they could get to Great Paxton

Here the Heron Trail follows the Ouse Valley Way.

This area of rough grassland interspersed with Hawthorn and Dog Rose bushes provides ideal feeding and nesting areas for Nightingales. Between the end of April and the beginning of June male Nightingales sing to attract a mate.
