slightly strange lighting here, maybe due to the paleness of the march grass.
One can see the sheer mass of trees on the west side of the stream at that time, compared to the east side.
There is again the strange bare earth appearance to the left of the high beeches in this photo, which I do not understand. Was this a partial scrape? leaving the peat at the end of the v shaped earth works? which is definitely there.
The two ponds, plus a smaller one are clear
You can make out the size of the swamp that makes up the source of the stream.
looks as if some of the scraping of the plateau heath, above west pond may have been done, with banks of peat just showing as dark lines.
Looks as if high pond is there, and also one downstream from where the causeway now is,.
Cannot see the power-lines, though they must be there.
Maybe there is a path across the stream under the power-lines, but I cannot see any sign of the causeway.
