Remember to really get a detailed view of the pictures, get a copy and use your favourite picture software.  Or open in a separate tab, and manipulate it there.

This photo shows the various states of the habitat, namely establish heath, bracken scrapings, and mowings.

The mowing along the top is something I did not recognise before.  It looks small scale, and maybe done by the mower we still have in the tool store.

Probably not that much has changed here, other than the mowing, is not now done, but we have the ponies.

There is an odd bit of ground opposite the bench, just above where the chalybiet (spelling?) springs emerge.

The various ditches and banks parallel with reynard's way are quite clear, centre left.

It is still not obvious what the earth moving under the power-lines is all about.

There is perhaps a hint of some gorse, just beyond the power- lines above the causeway. This is on the south boundary of the mowing there.  This was getting quite large, recently and has been partially coppiced.
