Rowberrow Warren ---you think you know it but it can become a maze especially when the foresters change the appearance at times during their maintenance work and replanting--At one stage I totally forgot where I was despite having walked here many times--yes some changes altered the perspective-------this has happened to me before in other areas of this wood----it makes the walk fun--In fact I forgot to take a right turn up by the area I had just left so ended up further down on a lower track than planned but all was well and the walk continued upwards towards the AONB with its breath-taking views---the ponies soon come into view ---no ferns or bracken yet and very few  bluebells either---no deep purple haze greeted me this year but it was still mid April and colder than usual---I see a couple with their baby in a papoose enjoying their ascent and they wave to me--much later I see them in the distance at the Trig.point further over on the AONB---------yes more to come folks--------------Birds and their beautiful flying displays--what is this bird of prey-- A falcon, hawk
