Peregrine Falcons
A beautiful cathedral and a stunning church with 4 peregrine chicks on each one. All still on their ledges, shouting for food !
Local Bee Orchids
A stunning display of bee orchids this year. These are on a grass panel on an industrial estate that our local council manage. They have cut them down for the past 4 years so I took our council to the Ombudsman and they were on my side and ordered our council to stop cutting. Wasn't too sure if they would cut or not but was so pleased to see the panel now fenced and signed and the orchids have thrived this year. Quite pleased with myself for saving these !
