I tried a new route today, taking the Heath Road byway from just past Bottisham to Great Wilbraham. This is a really good wide grassy track with some nice up and down hills. The track was pretty dry. The planned route was 14.2km but when I got to Little Wilbraham I decided to extend the run through Teversham Fen, making the total distance 16.4km (just over 10 miles). This latter part of the run was very muddy and almost impassable in one place where the Little Wilbrham river had overflowed over the path. Despite the mud this is a very scenic route along the meanders of this chalk stream.
Along Heath Road there were several Yellowhammers and Chaffinches. 2 Hares were seen just after the 6km mark. At Teversham Fen 2 Teal flew up from the stream and a Kestrel and male Marsh Harrier were seen.
