\nThis morning there was a Little Egret in the River Ock by the Brewery development. They are identifiable by their white bodies, black beaks and legs and yellow feet. They are smaller than the Great White Egret, which is almost the size of a heron.
\n
\nThis robin was near Meadowside, where a fallen tree acts as a perch. There are lots of berries at the moment, so the birds are well-fed at this time of year.
\n
\nThis is the point where one path leaves the main path as the main path follows the lower stream, and the secondary path follows the looping upper stream.
\n
\nThis is the halfway point of the Ock Valley Walk, where there is an overflow weir from the upper to the lower stream and where there is a wide pool. A lot of the time during the summer there is no water coming over.
\n
\nThe sun and shade gives a striped and mottle effect here where the path rises to that weir bridge.
\n
\nFurther along, some bracket fungus growing in semi circular shelves from a tree trunk.
\nFurther out of town, this is the view from the bridge by Mill Road looking back over the fields towards the Ladygrove estate.<\/p>\n

In remembrance of to Peter Green, who did a lot of work to help make the Ock Valley Walk what it is today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
