Back then, they were a rare sight but now, thanks to conservation work, they are easily spotted and Ray gets to marvel at one perched on his finger.

He's on the South Coast and journeys Westwards and, on his way, he spies peregrine falcons, kittiwakes, a wealth of wild flowers and, of course, the Adonis Blue.
