Foxes Bridge Wildlife Survey
Grid Ref SO 644 138
The team met at Foxes Bridge for a Wildlife Survey on a very hot day! We walked up a track where various ponds had been dug a few years ago. These ponds are now beginning to flourish and we could see evidence of the boar and deer footprints around them
There were quite a few Wild Strawberry plants in fruit
