The bracken is green.

You can see the mowing or scrapping on the South Heath.  There are three yellow and one blue object near the scraped area.  Are these part of the operation in progress?  If so, it is not obvious where the scrapings are being piled.

The dead patches in OL1 are obvious.  and you can make out the firing ditches in the fore-ground,

The divide between OL1 and South heath is not evident.

Lots of trees including pine, on the north side of the road near the roller stand, which were not there the following March.

Possible scrapping can be seen in the middle of the reserve, including the south facing bank under the power-lines, where silver studded blue used to be, and just east of the high beeches.

The pond (s) at the east end of OL1 look as if they are newly made, or bare.
