Now the purist in me doesn't really accept unicorns: so above this pair, just discernible, is a bee hive!

I got this from a delightful little book by Helen Long (Bristol, Abson, 1983 ISBN 0-902920-52-9) in which she took her children exploring in the "Square Mile" to find wildlife amongst the densely packed streets. Inevitably, some had disappeared: 30 years is a long time in this ever changing environment. However, I did find others she would not have seen in the eighties. All in all,a very enjoyable afternoon!
