There and back again

Treinity Hill Nature Reserve

Back on the heath this morning and another lovely day. You can google it on line or see East Devon description of their land here.

"Trinity Hill is a large area of lowland heath, lying two miles outside the town of Axminster. The reserve is a fine example of heathland with many interesting and unusual plants and animals.

During the day, moths lie-up in the heathers waiting for nightfall and look out for linnets singing from tall shrubs on the heath in the late summer.

Much of the surrounding area has been taken over by forestry and turned into coniferous plantation, but Trinity Hill remains a beautiful natural oasis in this evergreen desert." (East Devon District Council)

There is a path around the outside of the reserve and it is best to stay on this, I have seen deer laying up in this long grass which makes them nearly invisible and the best time to see them would be early morning or late evening when they start to move about. At the moment the heather has just started to come into bloom. I think this will look nice in "Large"
