Gained some interesting aches this morning — been out with conservation volunteers to Yatts Farm near Pickering. The sensation of doing a bit of good and spending time with people of like mind, lifts the spirits.
We cleared gorse (locally: whin) and hawthorn that is invading a delicate site that’s home to rare orchid and butterfly populations.
It’s a lovely limestone valley that needs to be kept free of scrub.
I disturbed the hibernation sleep of this peacock. I move her to a safe place and built her a new bed chamber of bracken.
