My Calendar of Firsts for this week:
- The Foxgloves are flowering.
- In the garden we spotted a Speckled Wood butterfly
- Also a Common Hawker dragonfly
- Last night’s moon was gorgeous! Almost full.
What is happening in the natural world where you live?
Happy exploring!
Hi Lynn
Your flower list must be coming on well? The foxglove is a family favourite over here, we saw some lovely specimens this weekend on our trip to a local reserve. My daughter enjoyed seeing Great crested grebe chicks for the first time 🙂 . We were lucky enough to go with someone who really knew their wildflowers so I have learnt a few new ones. We spotted a pretty little black butterfly which turned out to be a chimney sweeper moth! I have got enough to draw for the rest of the month.
We did Den day for Save the Children on Saturday night which was a huge hit. My son made a bivvy and spent the night in it. My daughter invited a friend and us girls slept in the tent, the girls turned their half into a massive nest with sleeping bags, blankets, cushions and cuddly friends.
I will look out for the full moon tonight! Hope your family is well.
