Splendid views, if a little distant, of at least eight Crossbills from the wildlife hide at Fineshade Wood this morning. @bonxie @FoFineshade @ForestryEngland #Northantsbirds

There's a great 7-mile walk taking in #KIngsCliffe #Blatherwycke and #Fineshade which could be more accessible if the stiles were changed to kissing gates. (It's @northantswalks no 98). Details here: https://t.co/vNpYlvDttF
What do you think Northants Highways and @NNorthantsC?

[Rockingham Forest Vision @RForestVision]

It's certainly beginning to look a lot like autumn in #RockinghamForest

A few places left on what promises to be a very interesting morning in #RockinghamForest

Willow Brook flows from Corby all the way to the Nene near Fotheringhay - one of the most important water courses in #RockinghamForest. A really interesting evening coming up

Next Monday we'll be exploring the former quarries, railway line & "calcining banks" that are part of @wildlifebcn's wonderful Old Sulehay Nature Reserve. The reserve's warden will be talking about the wildlife and heritage. Join us for a fascinating tour

[Friends of Fineshade @FoFineshade]

Really recommend this if you're free on Monday morning! Low-key relaxed wander round the site and then a brew open open fire.

[Rockingham Forest Vision @RForestVision]

Where do Sue and Kirk get the willow to make their wonderful baskets? A few places left to visit their own willow bed next Monday. Details and booking here https://t.co/1bZxFGjReM

Yay! Just found my first Chequered Skipper all by myself. It went extinct in England, but has been reintroduced by @savebutterflies.

On Saturday 3rd June we’ll be walking through and talking about the trees in Bedford Purlieus, the jewel of the #RockinghamForest crown. Come and see how many species of trees we can find in this beautiful ancient woodland. https://t.co/Vregg0aNp4 @HeritageFundM_E @NE_WestAnglia

Some wonderful Ancient Woodland fragments in #RockinghamForest. Today seemed a good time to walk right round Spring Wood on the Watts-Russell estate near Benefield . Private woodland but Rights of Way on 3 sides.
