About a month ago we had a fantastic rainy day starting off with toddlers at The Meon hall in Meonstoke. Caught up with a couple of friends we met 2 years ago through Liz who lives there. We'd missed the snack but had time to play and make caterpillars out of egg boxes. A lady we met called Sian helped us to hatch a plan to duck watch in the rain. Have you heard of the North Pond at Bishop's Waltham? Sometimes it is dry but at the moment it is full of water and there are ducklings. Best of all, unlike Petersfield Heath Pond there is a railed footbridge making it less likely kids will go straight in the water or be pecked by Canada Geese. With a little bit of sat-naving we parked near the town centre and walked round to the pond with some food. Not only ducklings but also cootlings and cygnets. The boys were over the moon!
Today is day 2 of
This is a challenge set by the Wildlife Trusts to get us all into nature. Although I'm a naturalist there is nothing better than a blog challenge to explore new areas or think up new activities. Yesterday I made lemon balm tea as my wild activity. Today I hope to look at worms in our wormery with Isaac as it is blowing a hooly and raining outside.
