An early morning (6am) start today on a nice sunny summer morning to the Hermitage. A lovely place for a walk with lots of mature mixed woodland, streams and plants, animals and wildflowers - an amateur naturalists delight! It was also very, very quiet and we only saw 1 man and his dog!
Spotted a few birds this morning including dippers, thrushes and heron. Plenty of bunnies out and about and also a couple of squirrels too. A nice way to start the day but weather clouded over later on so got the best of the day with being out early.
First time I visited there I was stunned by how good it was.It was during heavy snowfall and empty.Also walked a nice path past meadowhead farm around the southern slopes of the Braid hills.Snow was above the knees at times.
ReplyDeleteBob its hard to imagine it with that much snow but I imagine it would look amazing. Looking good just now as its mid-summer and everything is green and leafy.
