Devil's Dyke in early morning

 MORNING IS AN IMPORTANT TIME OF DAY, BECAUSE HOW YOU SPEND YOUR MORNING CAN OFTEN TELL YOU WHAT KIND OF DAY YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE. ― LEMONY SNICKET















HOW WE START OUR DAY DETERMINES HOW WE CREATE OUR LIFE. ARE YOU SNOOZING THROUGH YOUR MORNING…SNOOZING THROUGH YOUR LIFE…AND SNOOZING THROUGH YOUR UNLIMITED POTENTIAL?

Wakehurst - Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew - Coronation Meadow

Wild botanic garden, home to the Millennium Seed Bank and over 500 acres of the world’s plants in the heart of Sussex. 


















Coronation Meadow was founded in 2015 in response to the Prince of Wales's appeal for new wildflower meadows to mark the 60th anniversary of the coronation.

Margam Castle - Landscape and Wildlife

 

The park presents to the naturalist a pattern of plant habitats whose presence can be related to agricultural management and landscape planting.

Broad leaved, coniferous and mixed woodlands, scrub, grassland, bog, lakes and streams provide a diverse countryside, which contrasts vividly with industrial Port Talbot.

Geologically the park lies on the coal measures. The typical vegetation of the coal measures at lower altitude in South Wales its woodland dominated by oak, birch or alder. 

Among the more common mammals to be seen are foxes, badgers, hares, grey squirrels, voles and shrews. 

The park supports a rich variety of bird life including common woodland birds like the nuthatch, jay and blue tit and heathland birds such as stonechat and reed bunting.

Mute Swans, Coots, Moorhens, Canadian Geese, Mallard, tufted duck and pochard inhabit the lakes.
