London Natural History

The morning of my London Natural History Society walk to Barn Hill/Fyrent Country Park dawned and for a change I got up early to recce the country park. I wanted to make sure that the walk wouldn’t be too long for any disabled, elderly or extremely young participants. My pre-walk resulted in a fleeting view of a Hobby flying off with prey in talons.

Come 9.30am the majority of the eventual 27 people had turned up and we had a very enjoyable walk.

Both these areas are totally underwatched, so it would be nice if someone was inspired enough to cover them.
