Here we go folks the descent of Bicknoller Combe  greeted by a Sparrowhawk, sheep cooling in the ferns and a herd of  deer  munching and grazing of the combe side---the last time I visited this combe I was going up it on a very hot Summer's day and  it was a long hike up but still worth it with a few areas to shelter by the streams hidden by the small shrub like trees.The descent experience on this day in July 2020 was ,of course, much easier and its was so good to be greeted by the deer once again as I departed  these hills--The deer looked relaxed and well fed---no hunting on I guess but still quietly alert with ears  pricked like antennae,  by some members of the herd  on look out duty... A lovely stroll downhill towards the end of the walk---One more video to follow soon of this great day out ...
