Growing interest in the peregrines this week, as the chicks begin to explore beyond the nest. Whilst they are more easily viewed with a long lens, they can be seen with the naked eye from the ground. Why not pop along to take a look for yourself.

Feeling the heat? ☀️ Many visitors are finding welcome refuge in the cool of Tewkesbury Abbey this week. But let’s also remember the wildlife around us. If you can, please pop out a shallow dish of water — it can make a real difference to birds, bees, and other creatures.

“We believe that caring for creation is a sacred duty. The blessing of the Avon is both a prayer and a protest—an act of hope in the face of despair, and a call to stewardship in the face of negligence.” The Reverend Canon Nick Davies, Vicar of Tewkesbury Abbey
