We found lots of different feathers that are all wood pigeon feathers. We found one tail feather and four wing feathers.

Acorns

We looked inside some acorns. We brought some home to plant in our garden. I saw the embryo inside one of the seeds. When we opened the seeds it all turned brown except for the embryo. The only other thing in the seed was food for the developing plant.
