Saturday Morning Walk 8th June 2013

It would be too easy to take it all for granted...a short walk from home, stunning Wildflower Meadows, a brook meandering through, birdsong.  But I don't take it for granted. Not anymore.






Ever since the Planning Application was put in for an 80,000 Broiler Chicken Units at Upton Snodsbury on land just 1km away from Naunton Beauchamp and  close to the Public Footpath which runs towards North Piddle I haven't taken it for granted. I realise just how transient these sites could be. Just a few years after Worcestershire Wildlife Trust bought these sites with the aim of improving it and providing stewardship for future generations this new Proposed Development of a Chicken Broiler Unit could have a devastating impact on the wildlife that lives in the areas around Piddle Brook.  

So, while it hasn't been built and we fight to get the Proposal rejected by Wychavon Council we continue to enjoy and walk in a beautiful area with stunning flora and fauna. For more information on our progress on Objecting to the Chicken Broiler Units please visit our residents' website - Wychavon Parishes Action Group - www.no-chicken-farm.org

So, it was a bit dull early today but aside from the speedy birds that are too quick for me to get pictures or even identify them, here are the pictures I did manage to capture.
