30 Days Wild

I've been spending time this week taking part in the Wildlife Trusts'  project of finding time for nature in random acts of wildness, just a little wildness every day for 30 days.  Doesn't have to be a huge thing - perhaps just sitting reading in the garden or spotting something seasonal and interesting on your way to work or school, making something for wildlife in your garden.  There are lots of ideas on the website  here

So far this week I have 

Remembered my childhood and blowing Dandelion clocks on the school field to release the seeds which we used to call fairies.

Fed the birds in the garden and spotted an unusual visitor for a city garden.

Taken a woodland walk and identified some trees by their leaves.

Identified a wild flower that was taking over in our front garden and wondered how it got there, not birds in this case but on the fur of an animal - badger, fox or cat?  All visit our garden.

Spotted a wall up an alley way on my way to meet friends for lunch which was covered in three types of ferns and identified them all when I got home.

Walked by the nearby lake and taken photos of young coots on the bank.  Looked up coots when I got home to see if there was a name for a young coot.  I couldn't find one.

Sat outside in the sunshine with a picnic lunch listening to the birds singing.

Here is a link to the blog I started for this project. 

Now what am I going to do next week?  I've no idea but I'm sure I'll find something.
