Old Sir Rowland Hill, 'Renaissance Hero', repaired the Commonwealth by refounding the London Hospitals (and more). This spirit lived on: Robert Dudley founded the Lord Leycester Hospital in Warwick to fill the similar gaps.

A fantastic morning for bird ringing! 🐦 We ringed 52 new birds at Soulton, including highlights like Stonechats, Chiffchaffs, and Meadow Pipits.
Each tiny ring helps unlock the secrets of migration and survival.
