Epping Forest, east London - 18th July 2009

Brown Hawker



A leisurely afternoon walk in the High Beach area of Epping Forest with our good friends David, Anne and little Mia. Worthwhile if only for the general, commoner flora and fauna of this ancient woodland, with the added bonus of at least three Common Crossbills, flushed from the edge of a small pond a few hundred metres north of the field centre.
