Description

Cleeve Hill is a large area. One corner of the hill is a golf club. There are large flat areas and small hills with various horizons. There are small areas of very old trees, mainly beech. One can spend many hours walking around the hill with the ups and downs ground. Recently a Snow Bunting was spotted. Over the many years I have walked up on Cleeve Hill there is always something to see in the bird world. Among the birds recently seen are European Stonechat, Linnet, Yellowhammer, Ring Ouzel, Red Kite and Blackcap.
