Just a reminder that it's orchid time on Braunton Burrows & the next guided walk is next Wednesday at 7pm from Sandy Lane car park and is a midsummer orchid walk. Six different species are in flower at the moment including bee orchids on the foredunes. then again next Friday at 6.30pm. Walks are about 3 miles in total & take approx 2 to 3 hours.
Pass this on to anyone you know that may be interested.
