A Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust member has shared his appreciation of flowers as part of the 30 Days Wild challenge. The Trust is encouraging people to do something wild each day in June to get in touch with nature.
Paul Patrick was on one of his daily dog walks and had an unexpected surprise for his 30 Days Wild experience. After seeing an article in the Nottingham Post a few weeks ago, Paul had been keeping a keen eye out for different orchid varieties whilst out on his daily walks.
On his recent walk at Foxcovert Nature Reserve, near Calverton, he came across nearly two dozen bee orchids. Paul said: “I often visit Foxcovert as it's my closest Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust nature reserve to where I live. It’s a fantastic reserve to enjoy all year round for nature and has some great walks connected from it.
