This SANG bird is a bit of a puzzle, so it won't be as straightforward as the other SANG birds to catch. It may take a bit of patience, but you look like you're up for the challenge! Will you come find it and free it?
š§© This one has got a field puzzle waiting for you at the starting location, which will then help take you to the actual cache location. The difficulty rating is based on people who don't already know how to solve the puzzle.
š£ It will also require some tree fishing (at both the start and end locations), so bring your TOTT. The terrain rating is as high as it is due to the height of the final cache, but it's otherwise easy to get to with a suitable TOTT.
āPlease scramble the puzzle once youāve completed, ready for the next adventurer.
āPlease close the 1st container properly, and press the 2nd container fully into the cap so things donāt fall out when you place them back where you found them.
š This cache also holds a clue for theĀ mysterious bonus cache somewhere in the park.
š„³ Congrats to DizzyPair for the FTF!Ā š

Extra Information
While the other SANG Birds in this series are meant to be particularly family friendly, on the easy side of the spectrum,Ā this cache is meant to be a more challenging cache for experienced geocachers.
Depending on your existing experience with the kind of puzzle that awaits you, it may be very quick for you to solve orĀ you may need to come back and try again.
However, if you have a smartphone with you, you can find many guides to help you solve the puzzle.
There are picnic benches near the starting location where you can sit and puzzle away. If you can't find the container at the starting location, look for somebody puzzling away nearby!
If you get frustrated, just put it down and take a breath and enjoy the beautiful scenery, and try again š§
I had never done this puzzle before I got it to create this cache. If you're in the same boat, I hope you also enjoy the feeling of solving it as much as I did!

Canford Park SANG (Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace) is a public park located near Canford Magna in Poole, Dorset. It was established in phases beginning in June 2019, after the closure of Canford Magna Golf Club in 2016. You may still find golf balls out in the fields - my son has found 4 to dateā¦
The park was designed to provide an alternative recreational area to alleviate pressure on sensitive heathland habitats. There is a network of circular walking paths and amenities such as fenced dog training areas, a ranger hut with refreshments (part of the year), and a childrenās play area.
I regularly come here to walk my dog, a brown merle spaniel mix, so we might see you one day š
