Police have issued a warning to a motorist who drove off-road in the New Forest.
The motorist was handed a Section 59 notice, which means their car will be seized if they flout the regulations again in the next 12 months.
The car was found parked in front of a tent and two chairs.
Posting on social media New Forest Heart Police said: "Today we issued another Section 59 warning to someone for driving off-road on the Forest floor.
"The New Forest is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and driving off-road damages the flora and fauna of what is a protected area.
"This driver had gone approximately 200 metres into the Forest behind Pig Bush car park.
"A Section 59 Warning means that if this car is seen being driven in this way again in the next 12 months it will be seized by police."
