If, like me, you have a passion for our native wildlife, Wookey Hole and the surrounding countryside is delightful.
As the days get longer, and very slowly get warmer, we can notice a renewed urgency in the natural world. Right on queue this year on 14th February (Valentines Day) birds started to find mates, sing , and hold territory. Already I have Dunnocks (the misnamed Hedge ‘Sparrow’), and Mistle Thrushes (the Storm Cock) singing, and spotted woodpeckers drumming in the wood across the valley.
