On Sunday Sue and I visited Fairchilds Medow in Haddenham. Just a quick walk from our house but we did drive this time as we had been elsewhere before.
Fairchilds Medow is a nature conservation area that was purchased in 2003 by a working group of three Parish Councils and the local Conservation Society after a successful application to the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The area is still being established but is a lovely place to walk and take photos - we also had a packed lunch there :)
The area consists of three fields
A panoramic view of the top field. This is where we stopped for lunch. The field in the foreground has restrited access as the area is being developed to establish wild flowers etc. There is access all the way around it and one central footpath
Various insects were about ....
I believe these are soldier beetles.
Being watched
Bee - I guess my daughter Nicki will be able to tell me which type this is.
This butterfly is a Ringlet
These next photos are I believe Meadow Browns although the first one looks different. I did think that the second and third one where Small Heath Butterflies at one point, but I am not sure.
Some signs of the current wet July.
There area was quite boggy in places
Some Flowers around the area.
I am sure we will be visiting this very pleasant area again.
