Lockdown Nature Walks

When the Lockdown began in the UK, I decided to use some of my exercise walks to follow country lanes near the town of Totnes where I live but also to wander around town centre car parks and community gardens.  I recorded and photographed some of the wildlife I saw and wrote a series of posts entitled Lockdown Nature Walks.  These may be accessed below:
