Butterflies, bees and orchids – Wapley meadow at its best

Now is the time to visit Wapley Bushes Local Nature Reserve if you’re interested in meadow flowers and insects. Investigate on your own, or join us on our public guided walk this Sunday 28 June, meeting at 2pm at the Shire Way gate. We shall be welcoming guests from the Cabot Group of the Wildlife Trust but everyone is welcome. Here are some photos from the last few days:
