Nature detectives

30/3/2020

0 Comments

 
While you are enjoying the outdoors you can become a nature detective!  Keep looking out for clues to find out what wildlife lives near you...

Feathers on the ground could be a sign that birds are nesting nearby.

Mole hills and holes in the ground show us that animals are living under the ground beneath our feet!

Animal droppings could be around and indicate that deer or foxes are becoming active as spring is here!

Photos taken on Chantry Park, Ipswich.

Spring watch continued...

30/3/2020

0 Comments

 
As you can see there are lots of new buds appearing on the trees so keep looking closely to see what you can find... 

NOTE - not all plants are safe to touch so be careful of plants such as hemlock (similar to centre photo) because they can give you a poorly tummy if you touch them!

Signs of Spring

As part of your exercise allowance you could look for signs of Spring like Miss Rush and Daisy have started doing this week.  Keep following the blog to see if you can recognise what Miss Rush and Daisy spotted whilst enjoying some fresh air in the Spring sunshine with a dog walk.  Can you name the flowers that Cassie the dog found?  I wonder what creature lives inside this hole?  More posts to come tomorrow watch this space...
