Descripción

The car park of Queenswood Country Park is £3 for 2 hours. The cafe is commendable and the viewpoint features a telescope. Look for Milano Real, Busardo ratonero, Cuervo Grande or Azor Común spring display in March or April. There is an archaeological site which featured in Channel 4's 'Time Team'. 190 plant species found here including wood vetch, herb paris and 8 orchid species. Mammals include bats, polecat, muntjac and fallow deer, hares.

It can be very crowded near the car park, best birding will be in more distant parts. Cross the main road with care to follow the Marches Way LDP into undisturbed woodland. Expect Mosquitero Silbador, Papamoscas Gris, Pico Picapinos, Pico Menor, Pito Real, Lechuza Común, Picogordo Común, Chocha Perdiz or Gavilán Común. Or head west through Kipperknowle to see farmland birds eg Escribano Cerillo, Alondra Común, possible Codorniz Común, Cernícalo vulgar and Perdiz Roja.
