We walked across the deer park to the Rotunda at Wentworth Castle this morning before heading up beyond the house to Stainborough Castle, built as a folly by Thomas Wentworth in 1731.
The bird highlight of the morning was before we set off, as we were packing the car. A woodcock flew up the road, flying about 8 feet above the centre road, as it would along a woodland ride. A few doors up it diverted between the houses, still at the same height, heading towards Coxley Woods. I’m guessing that it might have been hunkered down somewhere in the lower end of the woods but had been disturbed.
