Beschrijving

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 Grasmus, Tjiftjaf, Zwartkop , Fitis and Tuinfluiter are possible moving from shrub to shrub. Buizerd, Sperwer, Rode Wouw and Torenvalk are often seen flying overhead. Groene Specht are often seen feeding on areas of short grass, also during Spring Beflijster, Tapuit, Rouwkwikstaart very often accompanied by Witte Kwikstaart​​​. 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.
