A wildflower meadow planted on part of a pristine Cambridge University lawn is being harvested with the help of shire horses and a traditional hay wain.

The meadow was planted at King"s College Chapel last year.

The aim was to create a "biodiversity-rich ecosystem" in an area that had been lush lawn since the 1720s.

The college said traditional harvesting methods would give wildlife time to leave, and the bales used to create new meadows across the city.

Head gardener Steve Coghill hailed the meadow a success, saying it had been quick to attract wildlife during its first season.

This year, horses have been brought in to harvest it.

Знаете вот, что хочется ? Поймать на Украине первую же попавшуюся гавномозгую тварь, которая вылезет на улицу стричь целый гектар травы триммером, ебашить её по голове тупой лопатой, пока не вывалятся мозги, потом отвезти их в Кембридж и удобрить ими этот их газон с разнотравьем.
