We've been a couple of times over the past few days, with no luck!
Are they over the back of the cricket ground when they are around (viewed from the cricket club car park)

Cheers

Hi Tom

no they are on the other side of Manor Way not the area by the cricket pitch. You need to walk along the stream bordering the cricket ground via the gate at the bottom of Dog Kennel Lane, carry on through the underpass and you quickly come to a football pitch, follow the tree's round the pitch to the left and they are normally around there. Check the Yew Trees around there as they seem to prefer them.

Alternatively I think there is a small car park off Grange Hill near the Somers club and follow the path to the football pitch.
