Went on a photo tour with Rica. There was all sorts to discover and hear. What I found fascinating was how loudly the black woodpecker drums compared to a great spotted woodpecker, but unfortunately I only heard the black woodpecker.

The meadows are worth a hike at any time of year. The highlights of the day are the red kite catching its prey and the toads.
