Pictorial Britain Calendar

Pictorial Britain Calendar Overview

The Pictorial Britain calendar highlights the harmonious relationship between the beautiful and diverse British landscape and the wildlife which can be found there. Each alluring image is matched with an enchanting inset photo of a mammal, bird or reptile which lives in that location and a paragraph describing the link between each creature and its environment.

On the first page we see a lush river valley viewed from on high at Symonds Yat, Herefordshire, with an inset picture of a badger. The River Wye snakes through a spectacular deep limestone gorge at Symonds Yat, on the Gloucestershire-Herefordshire border beneath Symonds Yat Rock, where peregrine falcons nest in the cliffs. There are two cable ferries across the river and a wooden suspension bridge. The mixture of woodland and open country is ideal for badgers which live in underground networks of tunnels called setts in groups called ‘clans’. They emerge to forage alone at night, helped by their excellent sense of smell.
