A pictorial diary of my walks around the parks and wild areas of Leicestershire, and occasionally farther afield.

If you're new to my blog, you might like to have a look at the pictures in the older post as well (click on button at the bottom of the page).

I am also a writer, using the pen-name John Gwynant, and I'll occasionally announce my latest book release on the blog.

Beacon Hill 13 March 2011

I decided to go somewhere I hadn't been for a while, so Maja, Skipper and myself went to Beacon Hill, we approached from Martin's Woods on Deans Lane and walked up through the woods.

It wasn't any improvement from the wildlife point of view, we could hear a coule of rooks shouting at each other and a Peacock calling in the distance but that was all.

Beside the footpath there was a herd of Longhorn cattle ruminating and this one looked up as we passed, so I took his picture.

From the top of Beacon Hill, you can see Old John on Bradgate Park, (if you click on the picture you'll get a better view) and these were the only pictures I took today.
