Who Turned Up

Wendy, Trudy B, Sue, Jackie, Trisha, Tony and Beatrice H

The Walk

The walk began at the usual car park off North Poulner Road and, as usual, the access track was potted and bumpy. Along the walk the group saw a pair of ducks with fifteen tiny ducklings. They also saw grebes, siskins, great tits and chaffinches. Trudy, who was the first one to reach the bird hide, also saw a beautiful green woodpecker.
After lunch the group walked through the forest where they saw some weird fungi. They also saw numerous trees that had been blown down in this winter’s storms. The eco-friendly house in Snails Lane was not quite finished but the building information was interesting. The cladding was made of sawdust and animal glue. The roof was made of plastic bottles. No copper or lead being used anywhere in the build.

The Pub

The Alice Lisle. We’ve always found the food here good but pricey. Nothing has changed.
