Great to see two (less than common) butterflies using the embankment at Tucking Mill. These grassland butterflies will appreciate the work carried out by Sustrans and Bath Two Tunnels volunteers early last month. @twotunnelsbath.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @sustrans.bsky.social

Saturday morning and heading through the tunnel to a cheerful bramble work party in the cutting beyond the south portal.
There's also a (shallow) flood there, slightly improved after some spadework.
Something is blocking the tunnel drain though.
The issue's logged with @sustrans.bsky.social.
