We both enjoyed a stroll round the shorter route, just having to double back at one stage as we were heading out instead of round. I sampled the sights and sounds and Penny sampled a whole lot of new odours.
The reserve consists of a mixture of open grassland and a small wooded area. New native trees are being added.
For a change I made the photos I took into a slide show with a soundtrack of sounds recorded while we had a short rest on one of the benches provided.
As there was a stiff breeze at times there is some wind noise and a few flowers moved too much for sharp photos. Disappointing in that I saw not one mammal, a few birds rushing about, and just one bee.
The only insect which stayed still was this beetle I found resting on the car door on our return.
I really enjoyed that slide show with the recorded sounds. From my point of view it was much better than mowing your lawn!!!!But I hope you get suitable weather later on.
ReplyDeleteMick: Thank you. I managed to cut the grass this evening.
DeleteI enjoyed this presentation.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: Thank you.
DeleteIt looks a lovely reserve and I did enjoy the slide show. Lovely to see all the flowers but a shame about the lack of mammals and bees and few birds.
ReplyDeleteRR: There are supposed to be lots of flutters and Goldfinches there. Maybe we scared them away.
DeleteLooks like a good place to visit John. I am amazed that the wooden sign is still in one peice and hasn't been damaged by some mindless idiot.
ReplyDeleteRoy: I must try to visit more often. I think the reserve is little known and little visited by the way the footpaths look pretty well unworn with plenty of vegetation growing on them.
