Ash Reeds Copse is a picturesque woodland located in Sussex, England. Spread across a vast expanse of approximately 100 acres, this copse is a haven for nature enthusiasts and those seeking tranquility amidst the beauty of the outdoors.

The copse is predominantly inhabited by ash trees, which give it its name. These majestic trees stand tall, their branches reaching towards the sky, creating a dense canopy that provides shade and shelter to the myriad of wildlife that call this place home. The forest floor is adorned with a carpet of verdant moss and wildflowers, adding to the enchanting atmosphere.

As one wanders through the copse, they are treated to a symphony of natural sounds. The songs of various bird species, including thrushes, warblers, and woodpeckers, fill the air, creating a delightful melody. Squirrels scurry amongst the branches, their playful antics adding to the charm of the place.

Ash Reeds Copse is also home to a diverse range of wildlife. Deer can often be spotted grazing in the early morning or evening hours, while foxes and badgers make their homes in the nooks and crannies of the woodland. In springtime, the copse comes alive with the chirping of frogs and the croaking of toads as they gather in the nearby ponds to breed.

Visitors to Ash Reeds Copse are encouraged to explore the numerous walking trails that wind through the woodland, allowing for an immersive experience in nature. The copse offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, providing an opportunity to reconnect with the natural world and appreciate the wonders it has to offer.

Large house SE of Upper Lodge This was the clearest shot I could get. The map labels this plot as "Yew Tree Cottage", but I'm a bit doubtful about that. It doesn't sound right for a property of this size.

Twilight in Old Glebe This year I am going to try and take a photo on all the days that end in 1. As well as this I shall say how many photos the site (and I) have bagged in 2023. For example, early on January 2nd I used the advanced search facility to discover that so far the site has 200 images for 2023 and I have 5. This I shall record from now on in the picture description.
