Another trip to Knepp and I was lucky enough to come across this family of Tamworth pigs emerging from the trees across the path

Tamworth pigs were introduced as part of the rewilding. Wild boar were not permitted, so these were selected as a reasonable substitute.

Spotted an interesting looking flower, so took a few photos. Turns out to be wild Teasel (thanks Google Lens, which is so helpful in these situations)

A revisit to Knepp, and a wander around the "Middle Block", without a guide this time. I encountered this calf which had managed to get out of its field

The main attraction on the estate is storks which were reintroduced and are now breeding

A bright sunny afternoon. New tress are emerging in various parts, while others die off. The ground is slowly recovering from the various pesticides and insecticides used when the land was farmed

I went on a walking "safari" around the Southern Block, which has mostly become scrubland such as this. The animals (deer, cattle, pigs and ponies) roam freely through here.

It's quite likely I've not identified this brown butterfly correctly (there's a lot of brown ones to choose from)

Knepp also hosts many species of butterflies and moths. I used the Butterfly Conservation website to identify them (possibly not correctly)
