    Default My Local (Wombwell) Woods

    Just a couple of quick pics I took this morning after failing miserably to get a brew going.

    A view over Wombwell Dam fishing pond



    A surprisingly pleasant view through the trees



    The area I choose to not get my brew on. But I did get to watch a stoat or weasel (No they aren't weasily recognisable or stoatally different when you don't know what you're looking at ) bringing some food home and had a close encounter with a Robin whilst I was busy with birch bark, firesteel and cotton wool.




    It always amazes me how picturesque these woods are given that you're never more than 5 mins from a road or house.

    Yep, no matter where I walk in there I always seem to end up back at the pond. Is it me or do you think there a bit more wildlife in there these days and less tin cans and burnt out cars?
