Hixon Airfield
Male Black Redstart still on a manure heap. The airfield is probably best reached via a public footpath off Bridge Lane 150m west of Stowe by Chartley. Park sensibly at a pull off near a kissing gate, walk through the gate along a public footpath through a small wood onto the airfield. The manure heap should then be visible near the RMS compound. On no account enter the compound or other work areas and keep to public footpaths and do not cross fields (RCB)
