NEW SOCIAL MEDIA, & BLOG COMING SOON


Regular visitors will have noticed a decrease in posts to the HEMEL NATURE
blog - this is because I have been living & working out of the area, & due to the job my time out
& about with nature in Hemel is limited. I am working on a new blog to come soon & hope that the work that has gone into HEMEL NATURE will prove useful & interesting to those still visiting it.

HEMEL MEGA: WOODCOCK at Great Gaddesden! At reedbed beside Hemel Garden Centre.


Only my 2nd record of WOODCOCK in the Hemel Hempstead Area.

Below is a poor photo of  when the bird was flushed by work going on at the garden centre. It flew away out of sight but shortly returned to the same area. Unfortunately this took me by surprise & so could not adjust the settings on my camera, so I'll have to make do with this quick record shot...
