"what sort of music is it? ‘English music"
-Ian Maun, describing the music of Ashley Hutchings
What's Your Relationship? 
 
 A fair enough question, we think, considering the subject matter of this particular website.How do you view the natural world, whether it be in some exotic  location or, and more excitingly, we think, in your own backyard, literally. The first section of this website is entitled The Wild Side of Town, your backyard as it were, believe us when we say, that there is a myriad of wildlife in the towns and cities, particularly where, land has been reclaimed, and country parks have been created. Actually in Birmingham there is what is probably the wildest of all the country parks, and that is Sutton Park, you see it always was a country park, with very little of the  formal layout you tend to see in most parks. Oh it has its pre-requisite golf course etc, BUT the wildlife always comes first (there's even a Roman road running through the park, but that's another story)
 
"Knowing that Nature never did betray
The heart that loved her; 'tis her privilege,
Through all the years of this our life, to lead
From joy to joy: for she can so inform
The mind that is within us, so impress
With quietness and beauty, and so feed
With lofty thoughts, that neither evil tongues,
Rash judgments, nor the sneers of selfish men,
Nor greetings where no kindness is, nor all
The dreary intercourse of daily life,
Shall e'er prevail against us, or disturb
Our cheerful faith, that all which we behold
Is full of blessings."
 
- Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey
William Wordsworth, (1770-1850)
