Nature Notes: my last walk of 2020 through Gunby Park
Wildlife, sunshine, frost, mist, and favourite local views If 2020 has been the year of keeping it local, then my New Year’s Eve walk has reinforced that theme. I have walked through the Gunby parkland hundreds of times over the last few years and at least 200 times this
