Church Wood, Gerrards Cross

As a firefighter we work odd shifts, we have 10hrs to kill between our night shifts for instance. Last week myself and another guy on my watch, a fellow birder, took a run out to Church Wood near Gerrards Cross.....really glad we did as well.

Really nice walk through the woods and treated to Red Kites, a Buzzard, long tailed Tits, bullfinch and even a parakeet.

Roadside parking in the village and a lovely little pub as a reward after 3hours walking (take clean clothes to change into though as they dont like muddy gear in the bar)

If you find yourself with a couple of hours free I'd thoroughly recommend it.
