Peter Jones, "Hampshire Diary"

Monday, February 20, 2006 - Tingewick Wood

Visited Tingewick Wood briefly, en route to a meeting. This site is totally off the birdwatching track, being tucked away in a north West corner of Buckinghamshire.

Probably not worth visiting again as it was predominantly Coniferous Woodland, but a small flock of Siskin made the stop worthwhile. Also some Golden Plover overhead.

Quite a wierd wood.. very dense with quite a few shells of old buildings, presumably from the airfield nearby. Also a "Wigwam" which gave me the creeps in case someone was living there.

Incidentally, in the middle of Howe Park wood last week, I saw a tent.. Is there a population of wood dwelling people secretly living in our forests?! 

 

Rest of the journey to Evesham was pleasant with a lot of roadside Kestrels and a few Buzzards.

 

Checked out the Woodland Trust website http://www.wt-woods.org.uk/home.asp in the evening and found a couple more places to add to my "West of Milton Keynes Sites"! Windmill Piece near Padbury, and College Wood which is very local to me, but I'd forgotten about!

There was a man living in the hide at Willen a couple of winters back - friendly person, quite interested in the birds....
