Maulden woods is forestry commission woodland with an area of ancient woodland on the Greensand Ridge in Bedfordshire.
"It has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest because of the variety and quality of its flora and fauna. Several areas of the woodland are carpeted with bluebells in spring and there are many secluded spots where you may see fallow and muntjac deer. It is also home to badgers, butterflies such as the common blue and small copper and many birds, including birds of prey. "
This was my first visit to the woods, and I didn't see all the above things, but there was plenty to interest me and my camera. I have been posting from my couple of hours in the woods which was two weeks ago now, so will draw this to a close in the next couple of days.
However, I have no doubt that I will be returning to the woods.
