Re: Visit to Richmond Park

Two things that are worth looking out for at present

1. snakes - the bracken stands are only starting to sprout, the weather is hot and the snakes are out basking - I've seen both adders and grass-snakes this month but they can move like the proverbial greased weaselshit so if you're a photographer don't spend too long composing your shot...

2. Listen to the trees - especially the oaks - a couple of weeks ago you could hear the oak leaves unfurling in the evening. Now you can hear the leaf canopy being stripped and be covered in caterpillar poo for your pains... headgear advisable!
