EPPING FOREST OUTDOOR GROUP A stroll of 5-6 miles on Hampstead Heath on 15 July 2007 gave us the opportunity to see some of the plants and animals that live on the Heath, and visit a little known corner of the Heath. Perhaps the outstanding experience was watching a kestrel hovering at just above head-height, very close to a busy path. We weren't the only group to witness this - others were also standing watching the display. And when the falcon flew off, it was to perch low down in a tree even closer to the path. For a group that has walked in so many parts of Britain - and in a few places abroad - it was a surprise to one or two of us how many of the Group hadn't visited the Heath before. |
