リトルパクストンウッドでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Nice approach from the south down an avenue of trees. Ford is definitely not rideable on road tyres except maybe after a long dry spell - use the footbridge. Road to the north is very broken in stretches.

Don't follow Komoot strictly (like I did) 😉 - obey the signs from farmer/landowner & NCN signs - small mistakes can be forgiven, I suppose, when we new to the area.

Cows sometimes graze here which encourages a variety of wild flowers to grow.

Here there are beds of reeds up to 2m high which are especially important for birds.

There are two species of newt in this pond: great-crested and smooth. These amphibians use the pond to breed and can often be seen moving around amongst the plants on bright days. The eggs are neatly placed inside a rolled up leaf for protection. The pond is regularly visited by dragon- and damselflies, sometimes ducks and moornens or the odd occasion! Source: Local signage

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