Lower Horse Paddock, Higher Horse Paddock, Broadcroft Butterfly Reserve and Broadcroft Quarry Lane

At long last a car that works. I cant believe this is my fourth car this year. So it was a day of trips to the tip, to get rid of bags of green waste that have sat in the back garden for weeks.

It did mean our walk was very late, but I still managed to see the "over-wintering" pair of Stonechats still in the Higher Horse paddock and 2 Meadow Pipits hiding in the long grass of the butterfly reserve.
