Wildlife Travel Yorkshire Trip

Spent last week leading a Yorkshire tour for Wildlife Travel. Had a great time, with highlights being awesome views of Nightjars (thanks Rich Baines!) 11 species of Orchid, Yorkshire (Thistle) Broomrape, Birdseye Primrose, Globe Flower, Adder, Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary, Large Heath, Golden-ringed Dragonfly, Keeled Skimmer, and of course the seabirds of Flamborough Cliffs!
