Re: White Coppice - Hatherlea Woods
it was at the point where Dean Black Brook flows into the Goit
Re: White Coppice - Hatherlea Woods
The one I saw was on the Goit in the wood itself, adjacent to the fishing lodge at what was Drakeshead kennels . First time I have ever seen one here. Is this unusual ? or have I just been walking around with my eyes closed?

That's a regular site for Dipper, Lindsay.

OMG, how embarrassing, I have been walking that area for donkeys years and never noticed them!
