Swan, Lower Test nature reserve
This swan was sitting alongside the boardwalk between the birdwatching hides on the western side of the Lower Test Nature Reserve. Approaching the mating season the birds get aggressive over territory - this one looks as if it had been in a fight.

Testwood Park - AFC Totton
The view looks beyond the east of the ground to Southampton via many pylons and the now narrowing River Test. Totton in blue were playing Abingdon Utd in red. Incidentally, this is the friendliest crowd I have ever been in!

Former gatehouse of Great Testwood House
The Grade II listed gatehouse stands at one portal of an ovoid driveway. When we were children the vestiges of the lower walls of the big house were visible, due north of this building. However my father, who knew the area before WW2, says that the house was demolished well before that war. The gatehouse is mid to late 18th C, possibly by Capability Brown. It has English Heritage Building ID: 462918. See also: http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-462918-great-testwood-lodge-90-totton-and-eling
