Walking at Blashford Lakes Nature Reserve on Tuesday 16th April 2024
Twelve of us had a lovely relaxing walk at Blashford Lakes Nature Reserve, enjoying the sunshine as we strolled. We were then lucky enough to spot some Canada Geese, a Kite, Mallards and maybe even some Sandmartins whilst we were in the Goosander Hide.
Afterwards, we strolled back to the car park, drove to Hockey's Farm where we enjoyed delicious cake, coffee/ tea and of course each other's company in the cafe. As usual there was lots of conversation reference the birds we saw, the lovely weather and what our plans are between now and our next walk on 30th April.
Unfortunately, we won't be walking on the 7th May as too many of our drivers are away from home.
Nine of us had a lovely walk this afternoon at Hengistbury Head the natural scenic area of headland between Bournemouth and Christchurch. It is an area of outstanding beauty with far reaching views of Christchurch Harbour, Mudeford, the Isle of Wight, Poole Bay and Bournemouth. Our luck was in and we even managed to miss the rain until the last few minutes.
We stopped off at the Visitor Centre where we were lucky enough to watch via a webcam a Tawny Owl nesting and a short interesting film about Hengistbury Head.
Our lovely afternoon was rounded off with coffee/tea and cake at the nearby, Hiker Cafe where the delicious lemon cake and flapjack were very much enjoyed. Looking forward to our next walk on 16th April.
