Re: 5 British Wildlife Spectacles To See Before You Die

1 Norfolk in winter with huge flocks of waders + geese, hunting Barn Owls during the day; pure magic.
2 Red Deer rut in autumn- our own testosterone stoked mega-fauna.
3 The Scillies with so many plants not seen elsewhere, dramatic scenery, seals, seabirds + rarities
4 Walk on chalk downland in summer with singing Skyarks, stunning flowers buzzing with bees, butterflies + stridulating Orthoptera.
5 Southern heathland in late summer- a riot of colour, carnivorous plants reptile heaven, specialised dragonflies + other inverts + birds such as Dartford Warblers, Woodlark + Stonechat
