Down in the southernmost corner of OC1 the boundary fence along H P Road is looking rather the worse for wear. Without its summer coat of bramble it's clear where posts have rotted and in places the wire is coming down, helped by the deer who have created a few convenient exit points.
So the most recent visit was spent knocking together some temporary repairs until we can get them mended properly. Fortunately that part of the wood is rich in hazel so there were plenty of straight poles to use as fence supports.
Being next to the road we found the usual collection of litter: jam jars, bottles and a lump of corrugated iron. People throw the oddest things out of car windows.
Sightings: a grey heron gliding over the pond, buzzards, a mistle thrush, and a rare glimpse of the resident white stag with his impressive antlers.
