Farley Mount Country Park

Thursday 9th May 2013

On a cooler blustery morning with occasional glimpses of the sun we had a short walk at Farley Mount Country Park.  In yesterday's blog I mentioned how bright the new green leaves are, so today a tried to capture the lime green of the beech trees, it's not a great photo but I think it demonstrates the colour.

Beech trees with their new green leaves.


We found two geocaches in the woods and one was well guarded! 

keeping an eye on things.

There was a herd of Highland cattle in one of the fields that the footpath went through.  This one had a quick look but wasn't at all bothered by us and just sat back down as we were leaving the cache.

Back on our circular work we came across some wooden play equipment hidden amongst the trees, I'm just glad there aren't any real ants this size!


One other observation today was that the fields of oilseed rape either side of the little lane that goes  to Farley Mount were in full bloom, suddenly it's all out and very yellow.  The rape fields have made me sneeze and my eyes run in the past but it doesn't seem to have affected me so much in the last few years thankfully.
