30 Days Wild 2016 – Part 3: Days 11-20

Days 11-20 of 30 Days Wild…

Day 11: It rained so I visited Whelford Pools Nature Reserve to sit in the hides & watch the birds. I saw Great Created Grebe, Common Turn, Mallard, Coot, Cormorant, Black Headed Gulls, Blue Tit and Mute Swan.

Day 12: Day out at Avalon Marshes. At RSPB Ham Wall I saw – Bittern, Mute Swan, Mallard, Cormorant, Grey Heron, Great Crested Grebe, Tufted Duck, Coot, Great White Egret, Little Grebe, Hobby, Buzzard, Swift, Marsh Harrier, Pied Wagtail and at RSPB Greylake – Redshank, Marsh Harrier, Mute Swan, Coot and Roe Deer – blog posts: RSPB Ham Wall and RSPB Greylake coming soon.

Day 13: Cleaned the bird feeders 🙂

Day 14: Okay so today wasn’t completely wild but half wild! We found a stray kitten in the garage. After about an hour, I managed to convince him I was friendly and he came over for a cuddle. We asked around locally but no one had lost him. We fed him and gave him a pet carrier with a blanket so he was comfortable in the garage until we could take him to the Blue Cross.

Day 15: Nature breaking through – I like how nature works its way through the obstacles humans put in it way 🙂

Day 16: Wildlife spotting on the way to work – Yellow Hammer, Woodpigeon, Collared Dove, Buzzard, Rabbit, Red-legged Partridge, Sparrow, Magpie, Starling, Crow, Jackdaw, Blackbird and Pheasant.

Day 17: Logging ladybird sightings

Day 18: Feathers from my recent wanderings – I tend to pick up feathers when I’m out and about especially interesting looking ones. Some of the ones I photographed today were from a Red Kite 🙂

Day 19: Watched Springwatch – catching up on the shows I missed

Day 20: Lovely sunny evening after a very wet morning #summersolstice
