A fabulous field full of Dandelions and Daisies for #WildflowerHour #DandelionChallenge on #InternationalDayOfTheDandelion
Zoom in to see how abundant they are π
Despite repeated requests to the RAF by myself and Wild Orchids UK & Ireland the orchids got mowed down today all 41 of them.
Shame on you RAF Valley

That special moment when you instinctively know to look out of the window and get a fantastic reward.
Short Eared Owl on the meadow fence last night.
Even more special as it's the first sighting since December 2019.

Just spotted at least 12 #orchids in a section of grass verge next to Sgts Mess RAF Valley
Is there any chance you could please amend your mowing regime to give them the chance to flower?
