Marvel at the meadow in the woods, managed by Scarborough Conservation Volunteers

Meadows are now at their midsummer best.

Under the summer sun a wildflower meadow blooms and buzzes with life as flowers blossom and insects flit from plant to plant.

One plant to look out for and a favourite with bees and butterflies is Common Knapweed.

Although these purple-headed plants may look like thistles, they are not prickly. Excerpt from RSPB.

Also check out the hazel coppicing that the volunteers did as there are new shoots appearing, which is very good news!

You may even spot deer!
