Callum Brae wednesday walk

[sandra henderson <>]

If you have sock protectors or gaiters, you'll probably be very pleased to have them on for the walk at Callum Brae - some of the grass seeds are quite vicious, and the "tracks" are very overgrown in places, so the long grass is impossible to avoid. Going cross-country off the tracks is almost impossible because of height and thickness of grass, and huge expanses of tall saffron thistles - VERY spiky.

 

a trial of possible route this morning produced over 40 species in under 3 hours - very wet underfoot in places (ie, water running down the track), and no trouble from the goshawk I saw, which sat sedately in a tree, no alarm call, then flew back on up the hill from whence an attack came only last week.

 

as previously advised by Martin - meet at Callum Brae gate on Narrabundah Lane at 9am
