The wilding shrubs bulging out where once there was carefully controlled heather and low fruitless bilberry are perfect shelter on a sunny morning with a cool breeze. Stags are up above the track in that vantage to see what bank holiday visitors might get up to. This is where, in previous years, they have been prone to look down on SWT's invading cattle.
Further down on the side of Blacka Hill hinds are also bedding down after a night's feeding. The hinds are quite large now yet some still accompanied by last year's calves. This is probably the pair we've kept watching through the autumn and winter.
After some warm sunshine some of the deer are now well on the way to revealing the true redness that will be worn for the remainder of the year.
