If you keep going along the river past Shincliffe Hall then round the bend, there's usually one which oyu can see from the public footpath which leads up into Butterby Woods.

cheers andy is that the path through the field with dykes on your left hand side then you come into the wood.

Not sure where you mean exactly but I mean here, from the footpath on this side of the river you can often see them on the other side.
