After riding my bike through the forest I was hooked, today was my first proper visit to Stainburn, back then I did not realise how much I would love this place and its amazing wildlife.

| Top of Pine tree has Fasciated, |
 |
| Climbing Corydalis (Ceratocapnos claviculata) |
This might look really bad at first, but once I started to look you can see the wild flowers coming back, the dry wood is great for insects which in turn is good for the birds. This spot as it turns out can be a good spot for Nightjars during the breading season . They have been coming back to the forest for years.
