Descripción
Honey Hill (not to be confused with Honey Hill in Cambridge and Kent) is said by locals to have the best views in Northamptonshire. Beside the roadside layby (3 cars only) is the entrance to the site, head uphill along the long distance Jurassic Way (sometimes muddy following prolonged rain). On the grassy hill during Spring Curruca Zarcera, Mosquitero Común, Curruca Capirotada , Mosquitero Musical and Curruca Mosquitera are possible moving from shrub to shrub. Busardo ratonero, Gavilán Común, Milano Real and Cernícalo vulgar are often seen flying overhead. Pito Real are often seen feeding on areas of short grass, also during Spring Mirlo Capiblanco, Collalba Gris, Lavandera pía very often accompanied by Lavandera Blanca. For those with limited time the walk is out and back, but for those with more time you can continue (press STARS on map) on the Jurassic Way in a big loop back to the start.

The Jurassic Way is a very popular walking and mountain biking route especially at weekends, an early morning weekday visit is probably best to avoid birds being disturbed by visitors.
