Description
The car park of Queenswood Country Park is £3 for 2 hours. The cafe is commendable and the viewpoint features a telescope. Look for luňák červený, káně lesní, krkavec velký or jestřáb lesní 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 budníček lesní, lejsek šedý, strakapoud velký, strakapoud malý, žluna zelená, Sova pálená, dlask tlustozobý, sluka lesní or krahujec obecný. Or head west through Kipperknowle to see farmland birds eg strnad obecný, skřivan polní, possible křepelka polní, poštolka obecná and orebice rudá.
