The idea is to make a note of what is out, what is moving, growing, living in the space. So over the past months I have gathered a rough list of fauna (the flora is Alex's domain, I only recognise some things).
This was the list I compiled for Open Day this year.
Butterflies
Fritillary - Common Blue - Peacock - Red Admiral - Small White - Large White - Orange Tip - Small Copper - Speckled Wood (caterpillar on Horseradish?) - Gate Keeper
Moth
Poplar Hawkmoth - Cinnabar Moth - Mint Moth
7 Spot Ladybird - 5 Spot Ladybird - Shield Bug - Asparagus Beetle - ? Nezara Viridula - ? Rhagonycha Fulva (common soldier beetle)
Ants and eggs - Crane Flies - assorted Hover Flies - assorted shiny black beetles
Bees -
Red-tailed Bumble Bee - Honey Bee
Orange lipped slugs - Frogs - Toad - Weasel/Stoat - Purple poo (Hedgehog?)
Birds -
Great Tit - Blue Tit - Goldfinch - Various finches - Robins - Wren - Great Spotted Woodpecker
Around and above the plot
Grey squirrel - Pheasant - Jay - Magpie - Swifts - House martins - Pigeons - Buzzard - Gulls and Terns - Corvids - Pigmy Shrew (on Open Day!)
Not a bad list but now I will try to do a post each time I go and I will try to remember the camera as well as the clock!
Here's hoping I see something!
P.S. And the photo? Unidentified as yet!
