Description

Follow the paths round in a clockwise direction, looking out for woodland creatures such as roe deer, which often graze amongst the trees. Overhead you may hear the distinctive 'mewing' of buzzards as they soar on thermal air currents on warm days. An early morning visit to Rounall Wood in springtime will reward you with a dawn chorus of woodland birds and you may be lucky enough to see a red squirrel. In the evening look out for badgers foraging for worms or beetles in the undergrowth. Bats too can be seen at dusk swooping around the tree tops catching small insects.
