The Campsite
While we were having our snack, two jays were screeching to each other. Jays are resident meaning they don’t migrate.
We found tail and wing wood pigeon feathers.
It was raining acorns again. On mast years, oak and beech trees produce more fruit, so there are still acorns that can grow after the squirrels have eaten. On other years, there is not much fruit, so less animals survive. Some scientists think that oak trees do this to help limit the animal population and ensure their survival.
You may remember that we found puffballs before. Now, they are more of a disc shape and have brown on the top.
Mum found some shredded acorn shells. They must have been shredded by squirrels.
Adventure Playground
Mum found a huge wasp nest while raking. She got stung twice. Ouch!
Cycle Route
Mum saw a devil’s coach horse.
Mum found a grey and white feather with a pink and purple tip. We think it belongs to a common pigeon.
Mum noticed a moth; we think it is a yellow underwing.
