Spent yesterday mincing with Holly around her part of the world. We visited Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve HERE , three different pubs and also spent a bit of time at Holly's house, the Old Vicarage.
Red Kites - the Chilterns were the original release area for Red Kites one of the nation's most successful re-introduction projects
Spotted Orchids in the Chalk grassland
Common Rock Rose (bottom) and Buttercup
View over the M40 from the reserve (the contrast between the reserve and the motorway is very noticeable)
The Old Vicarage (Holly's gaff). The large grounds have some interesting habitats that I'm hoping to explore more of in near future. There were plenty of Diamond-back moths in the garden.
