Descrizione
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 Sterpazzola, Luì piccolo, Capinera , Luì grosso and Beccafico are possible moving from shrub to shrub. Poiana, Sparviere, Nibbio reale and Gheppio are often seen flying overhead. Picchio verde are often seen feeding on areas of short grass, also during Spring Merlo dal collare, Culbianco, Ballerina nera very often accompanied by Ballerina bianca. 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.
