A Walk in Beech Woods


I walked today in beech woods near the

Ridgeway Ancient Path in South Oxfordshire with family.

The weather was cold and dank, the sort that chills.

We noticed what looked liked birds flying in circles in an

adjacent field.

Then we heard shots. The circling birds were some sort of

decoy. There was a shoot taking place in neighboring fields.

I don't like to see pheasant being shot, one lucky pheasant

flew over our heads to safety. The shooters were firing in

our direction so we left.

There are some interesting fungi growing in the wood, must remember the camera next time.
