Apparently, the chap who really owns the cabin actually dresses up as Davy Crockett......the other one.......and spends the weekends there, re-enacting the scenes of looong, looong ago!

The first time I saw it, there were rabbits hanging from the porch bit and some skins nailed to the wooden walls!
There are always chickens scrattin' around and last year, I saw a humongous Turkey! That disappeared though, so it obviously went in the cook pot for dinner!

No No that's not me at all, no need to come and check it out either, no you won't find me their
Haaa, peice at last

I live in Southport theres lots of lovely walks and wildlife to see plus swans on route to Martin Mere.

Cheers walking with my binoculars and compact camera is superb.

A very long walk for me today, about 17-18 miles I should think, from Kensworth to Ashridge, Aldbury, Pitstone Hill, Ivinghoe Beacon and back via Dagnall and Whipsnade (all around the point where Beds, Bucks and Herts meet). A very grey day, so the photos don't do the scenery justice.

It was a great walk for seeing birds - Red Kite (), Buzzard, Raven, Long-tailed Tit, Green Woodpecker, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Jay, Fieldfare, Yellowhammer. And I spotted a few wildflowers - Lesser Celandine, Red Dead-nettle, Coltsfoot, Dog's Mercury.

Today we had a walk along the Kennet & Avon canal in West Berks, taking a detour along a tributary.
We began at Tyle Mill at Sulhampstead and walking downstream to the Sulhampstead swing bridge

Crossing the bridge we doubled-back on ourselves walking the opposite bank up to the weir (not for the faint-hearted - those boards move, bend & creak a lot!)

We then followed the channel along towards Theale, up to the wooded railway bank before heading back, with views to Englefield House in the distance to our right.


The weather was great, had good views and saw, among others, greylag geese, buzzard, moorhen & kestrel and some yet unidentified brown mammal running along the bank (no photo so I guess it'll remain unidentified )

Looks good, Claire, I'd be wary of that boarded bit too!

I did another bit of the Cerne Valley this afternoon. The wind was very strong up on the top of the hills, but in the sun and out of that wind it was lovely.




The house in the middle is the dower house to the Up Cerne Manor and I had parked my car opposite to it.


Another angle on the Cerne Giant. Yesterday, someone put a Red Nose on him!

No, regrettably not, Mick. I simply wasn't able to get there at the right time.

[Mick_S]

That's a shame, will have to have a look on the web and see if I can find one.
