30 Days Wild is a challenge created by The Wildlife Trust in which participants are invited to do something wild everyday throughout June. A simple mission to help reconnect people with nature. This is my exciting June of 2021! | |||||||||
A good and wild read! | |
I picked up the good read of Bird Watching magazine. I am going to have a nice afternoon of reading! | |

Sparrows in the sun | |
I started my evening watching House Sparrows sunbathing, preening and snoozing along the edge of a farmer's field. A blissful evening for both me and the sparrows! | |

Blue tit inspired friendship bracelet | |
It was horrible weather today, so I set about making a wild
craft! Inspired by the colours of a Blue tit, I decided to make a friendship bracelet. I headed out to a haberdashery and bought myself five new threads. I spent sometime choosing a nice pattern and started braiding. I have set myself the deadline of the end of June to finish the bracelet, I will keep you updated as to my progress. This is the link to the pattern I have chosen to braid: https://www.braceletbook.com/patterns/normal/65970/ |

Urban Wild! | |
I always love seeing urban wildlife, today was no exception. I went to Burton-on-Trent for some shopping and was delighted to see sparrows, starlings, pigeons, gulls and bees! | |

Incredible insects! | |
After a very wet rainy morning, I was glad to see blues skies this afternoon. The sun dried and warmed everything up enough for me to go for a lovely walk and see lots of insects take advantage of the lovely weather. I even got to see a Stenocorus meridianus again (see day 8). A wonderful way to end the day! | |
