Stoney Cross & First Cuckoo

Bank Holiday Monday 5th May 2014

We had a quick 3 mile walk around part of Stoney Cross this morning and managed to find a small pond that we haven't come across before - I have no idea how we have missed it.
We also heard our first cuckoo of the year, loud and clear.


The trunk of this silver birch has grown in a very odd way.

This lovely pond was full of life, mainly lots of  tadpoles, (at least they are in a pond this time, not in a puddle or a drainage ditch).


We walked through the woods and came across a balloon floating about, caught in a tree;

to infinity and beyond - Buzz Lightyear!

By lunchtime it was getting busy at Stoney Cross with walkers, joggers. cyclists, donkeys and ponies so it seemed like a good time to leave everyone else to it and get on home.
