Nursery Plantation

Roe deer on arable farmland between Gislingham and Mellis Roe deer are very common in North Suffolk and can often be seen in open fields. Sometimes in winter large numbers can be seen together although usually they are in much smaller groups than this. When the crops are high only their heads are visible and they can easily go unnoticed. It is difficult to get close enough to the deer to get a good photograph. I prefer to watch them from a distance -if you try to get too near they can panic and dash across roads, putting themselves and motorists at risk. — Roe deer on arable farmland between Gislingham and Mellis Credit: Richard Rice

Cowpasture Lane on a sunny Spring day

This lane was protected against vehicular traffic in 2007 TM0973 : Protecting Cowpasture Lane. One of those campaigning to protect it was the late Roger Deakin, who lived nearby.

Vanishing point

This is where Cowpasture Lane (TM0973 : Cowpasture Lane on a sunny Spring day) crosses the main line to Norwich. This location must be particularly tempting for Geographers: see TM0973 : Ant eye view and others in this square. Somehow just looking at it, the dead straight track on this fast section of line speaks speed!

Meadow thriving under a light touch

This meadow in early May was full of dandelion clocks and a rich variety of other meadow plants. Over nearly 40 years it has benefited from a benevolent landowner with a light, almost neglectful, touch.
