Walk in the new forest (Old mines, heaps, insects and flowers) My biggest post ever!

avatar

Today I decided to go to a forest that I had never gone to before, it is rare and is located near the city, therefore it is very littered ...

As I enter the forest, I immediately stumbled upon fresh violets,

On one of which a bumblebee was collecting nectar.

After a few steps I found some Ficaria blooms

Having passed a little, I found some kind of bunker,

apparently still in use, since the lock is still hanging.

I think coal was being loaded here,
and the breed was thrown to the dump ...

Here I am on the top of this Spoil tip

And further in a row, a few more of the same waste heaps...

Aya likes to run on them)

I went down and proceeded to these Spoil tips, and discovered several illegal mines (Bootleg mines)

1-st

The roof is very flimsy!

It’s very dangerous to go down there without special equipment, but what can’t you do for the sake of good pictures)

IMG_20200325_144221.jpg

Inside there is a lot of garbage and it’s not possible to penetrate deep ...

Filled with strong emotions, I climbed up and breathed in the fresh spring air ...
Then I went out (as I thought to the clearing), but it turned out to be a flat Spoil tip , apparently very old and blurry !

Aya runs back and forth as usual)

This is a Panoramic photography of this Spoil tip...

My dachshund and I walked for a long time and decided to turn to the side of the home,
and came across this wonderful Ant colony!

IMG_20200325_145244.jpg

The ants were very slow and in no hurry, apparently just recently woke up)

IMG_20200325_145239.jpg

And a few meters from the Anthill, Aya found a bunch of feathers, apparently some kind of predator, gutted a forest bird ...

To be honest, I did not expect to find so many different finds today, but I really liked this walk!
I will be very glad if you share with me, my delight!)))

What would the miners have been trying to extract?

Coal, but it is much deeper, and the mines are old and covered with clay and rock almost to the top.
