Under Rydon Hill

Welcome to this blog about my time away from the tedium of domestic management. Once called "Tits and Things", now sub-titled "Life in Quantoxia", there's plenty of bird ringing (90%), some odd bits of general birding, some local steam trains, some personal bits and occasional 'away days' in other parts of Britain. Rydon Hill overlooks the lower valley of the Doniford Stream, where most of these activities take place.

The Rough at Priory

Below is an aerial shot of the 'Rough' where we do most of our ringing in the park.



The main lake is bottom left, the Fingers lake bottom right & the 'new meadow' top left. The diagonal 'line' NE/SW is what we call the 'long hedge'. The mown 'patch' is where we set up the ringing table (often the back of my car) and where the young school kids do their 'bush bashing'.
The dark dog-leg line centre (from NW to S) indicates where the CES nets go, thereby bisecting the site.
