Open University Exploring Nature Walk

Monday March 11th 2013
Puddletown Forest



Not quite a blizzard but very cold and plenty of snow left over from the morning. The birds seem to have all been hiding (can't blame them) but the woods did look very pretty with a dusting of snow. The best sigting was the group of sika deer in the trees, including a handsome stag.

The drive back was a bit more productive with lots of fieldfares at Bockhampton and a lovely fox at Sutton Poyntz.
