Martin's Bird Blog & Nature Photos

From time to time I publish a blog on this site which has very tenuous links to birds. The justification on this occasion is that on our visit to Wells in Somerset there was an installation in Wells Cathedral by Peter Walker entitled “Peace Doves”.

After our visit to the Cathedral we also visited a local garden, Stoberry Park, which was open as part of the National Garden Scheme and some of my photos could be categorised as “nature” photos.

Slideshow of photos of Wells Cathedral:

Stoberry Park was just north of Wells and had magnificent views looking down onto Wells Cathedral and beyond to Glastonbury Tor.

The pond had lots of dragonflies/chasers but I didn’t have the right lens to make the most of the opportunity

The walled garden was spectacular

… and featured lots of aeonium which I gather have to be taken into a warm glasshouse each winter

The roses were at their best

… ferns too

The garden featured lots of sculptures

Tea and cakes on the lawn were an attraction for many (which we couldn’t resist either)
