I like the theme of 30 Days Wild, Juliet. Coincidently, I have recently become interested in heron again. I am going to use the remaining weeks in June to learn more about 3 species of herons I regularly see: Great Blue Heron, Black-crowned Night Heron, and the Green Heron. I find herons fascinating and enjoy simply watching them.
Thanks for this. The age of the smart phone and the internet has certainly made identification much easier, though I loved my i-spy and Ladybird books as a kid. It amazes me how much I still don’t know, even at my ripe old age! (I wrote a poem about that). There’s always something new to learn about.
The naming of things - so very important to know what you are looking at

That sounds like a great idea! I like herons too and often see Grey Herons in Edinburgh’s waters.

Congratulations on the poetry publications.
Thanks. I loved the I-spy and Ladybird books too, plus the Observer Books.
Oh,the Observer books.The little blue ones? Yes, I’d forgotten about those!
I can't remember the actual colour of the binding, but I had the Observers Books of Birds; Butterflies and Wild Flowers.
