Day 5: Chloe went Tree Hopping at Zip World, she was high up in the trees and saw Birds, Rabbits, Bees, Dragon Flys and squirrels

Day 6: We found A Wasps Nest!

The nest consists of around 8,000-10,000 hexagonal (six sided) cells arranged in 8-10 tiers of about 20cm in diameter. The building material is paper-like and made of “chewed” rotting wood mixed with the wasp’s saliva. Construction is begun by a queen wasp but completed by workers (sterile females)

Day 7: watching the swifts going in and out of the barn and listening to their song was amazing.

Day 8: Identifying wild plants around our garden and looking in the barrel pool.

Day 9: Elsie planted some wildflowers in her plant pot at home. She sent me a picture to add to our blog.

Day 10: we put some crushed up crisps on the bench at the park. We sat still for a while and a Robbin and Black Bird came to have a feed.
