Flight Times

Walking in the woods can be noisy. Though it's at its best when no aircraft are overhead. Sod's Law makes that the best singing is at the same time each morning just when the planes are going over.




These woods can be dark in places but are always interesting.

Young oaks are growing under the pines and there is also holly and occasionally yew or smaller rowan with some rhododendron. Fallen branches need to be negotiated and the floor is occupied with abundant bilberry and ferns.

Bilberry here is a resilient shrub hitching a lift sometimes high up on alders in epiphyte behaviour. Other wood floor plants can be seen copying this.
