smallhobbitMy activity over the past month:
British Trust for Ornithology: I've reported Garden Bird Counts every week. Lots of sparrows, plus some pigeons. One sparrow had a bath in our smallest water bowl, much to the disgust of the pigeon which arrived a little later and didn't fancy sparrow bird water. I've done 8 surveys for Birds in Green Spaces in two sites, including yesterday when it was Birds in Green Spaces Big Day.
UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme: Nothing this month. It's only just stopped raining for long enough to get out for a survey.
Butterfly Conservation: Butterflies for the New Millennium. 4 counts. It has not been butterfly weather! Voted for Britain's Favourite Butterfly and took the quiz to see what sort of butterfly I was. (Large skipper - energetic and feisty)
30 Days Wild: Have gone out for a walk every day with an aim to keeping to the theme of the day. I've practised recognising bird song and downloaded a number of spotter sheets which I can continue to use over the summer. I also made a wildflower collage for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fan_flashworks based on local wildflowers.
Maintenance: Topping up the water bowls and cleaning them now it's not raining.
Sightings of note: The swans together with five growing cygnets. A furry caterpillar. Several damselflies, including beautiful demoiselle.
Other activities: None
