I like the colour of that Green Dock Beetle, Juliet. Their green colour is almost metallic. I am looking forward to reading more of your posts this month - such a great theme.

Every morning when I take my dog out, I also pull out my Merlin Bird ID app to see what birds are around on any given morning. I'm pretty good at identifying the songs of our regular avian inhabitants, but sometimes a less-common bird is hanging around, especially during migration season. I appreciate that the app helps me become aware of birds that might not be on my radar.

I also carry a small notebook and try to write down three observations of the changing season each day. Sometimes I miss, but every little bit helps me be more aware of the fluctuations around me.

It’s great to be reminded to take notice of the natural world we interact with on a daily basis. Lovely photos too!

There’s the Stand Up for Nature Protest going on outside parliament on 12th June. I’m going to try and get down for it 🤞🏻
