Askham Bog, on the outskirts of York. Amazing that this ancient peat bog — a biodiversity haven — has survived centuries of urbanisation (thank you Yorkshire Wildlife Trust). Not many birds visible today: siskin and chiffchaff the highlight.
Green sedges and other bog plants in foreground. Trees behind.
