Quotes

"The only reason the Government is pursuing these wind turbines is because it has failed to invest in appropriate green energy. I think that large wind turbines will put the public off the whole idea of combating climate change which could be disastrous."
Geoffrey Cox, Member of Parliament for Torridge and West Devon

Meadowsweet is a perennial herb which grows in damp meadows. It is native throughout most of Europe and western Asia.

Tufted Vetch is a common species of vetch native throughout most of North America, Europe and Asia. It occurs in grassy fields and meadows, and roadside ditches.

A confirmed sighting of a Chinese Water Deer. This species of deer has never been recorded in this area before.

The Marbled White is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. Found across most of Europe, north Africa and as far east as Iran. They are a common sight in unimproved grasslands across southern Britain, particularly on the South Downs.

The Five-spot Burnet, a day flying moth, occupies grassland, chalk downland and sea-cliffs, and the larval foodplants are such low plants as clover (Trifolium) and vetch (Lathyrus). The adults fly in the daytime, visiting various flowers, and are on the wing in June and July.

The Red Deer, commonly called hart in the United Kingdom, is one of the largest deer species. Reintroduction and conservation efforts have resulted in an increase of Red Deer populations.

The Blackcap is a common and widespread bird which breeds throughout northern and temperate Europe.

The Goldfinch breeds across Europe, North Africa, and western and central Asia, in open, partially wooded lowlands. It is resident in the milder west of its range, but migrates from colder regions.

The Greenfinch, widespread throughout Europe, north Africa and south west Asia. favours Woodland edges, farmland hedges and gardens with relatively thick vegetation for breeding. It nests in trees or bushes, laying 3-8 eggs.

The Orange Tip Butterfly is named because of the male's bright orange tips to his forewings. The males are a common sight in spring flying along hedgerows and damp meadows in search of the more reclusive female which lacks the orange and is often mistaken for one of the other 'White' butterflies.

The Peacock Butterfly hibernates over winter before laying its eggs in early spring, in batches of up to 500 at a time. The caterpillars, which are shiny black with six rows of barbed spikes and a series of white dots on each segment, hatch after about a week and feed on nettles and hops.

 

The large Red Admiral Butterfly is identified by its striking dark brown, red and black wing pattern. The caterpillar feeds on nettles, and the adult drinks from flowering plants like the Buddleia and overripe fruit.
