After all my numerous long distance trails I’ve now had almost an entire year without completing any significant walk.

I’ll probably share one more photo from the 6.5 mile stage to Hedgecourt Lake, but for now perhaps I’ll just list the bird species seen along the way
Blackbird, BH Gull, Buzzard, Canada Geese, Crow, Egyptian Geese, Great Crested Grebe, Great Tit, Greylag Goose, House Sparrow, Jackdaw, Jay, Long Tailed Tit, Magpie, Mallard, Moorhen, Mute Swan, Pheasant, Robin, Wood Pigeon and Wren.
We also spotted an immaculate fox and a charging herd of 33 Fallow Deer.
