Yesterday I had a wee trip to my local town & I documented how green the journey there is ποΈ
Today I celebrated Father’s Day with some of my family & we had a BBQ, which my Brother-in-law & I tended to π
When the evening arrived, it was time to prepare for the Big Wild Quiz, hosted by Sophie Pavelle and David Oakes. Which kicked off just after 7pm, it was great fun & a laugh! π

This morning I unsure what to do, thankfully a friend reminded me that I’m passionate about Green-belt & suggested I make a video (below) regarding its benefits.

It’s that time of year again! To do something nature related & connect with the natural world every day in June, a “Random Act of Wildness” – as suggested by The Wildlife Trusts.
This morning I got up at 4pm to listen to the Dawn Chorus π π¦ πΆ (Then went back to sleep π).
Yesterday I saw a lovely species of Moth in the Garden, for the first time, so I have included a video of that video too! π π¦
In the early evening I went for a lovely walk with my Mom, around the Waseley Hills Country Park ποΈ β€οΈ

I was at work again today, so went with a simple Random Act of WildnessΒ – on the days I’m not at work they’ll be somewhat elaborate π Β I chose “Discover urban wildness and mini habitats.” – from the booklet and decided I would complete this challenge by walking home from work and passing by certain places and stopping when something catches my eye etc. Β Again, I filmed (with my phone) and have a video for you to see!
BYPASSΒ
I left Sainsbury’s and walked down the relief road/bypass, knowing a short walk down it there is a Brownfield site adjacent and that I’d see something there. Β A patch of land with scrub and a smattering of wildflowers – Poppies being the more obvious flower. Β I witnessed a skirmish between two male House Sparrows and heard a Dunnock and Blackcap singing. Β At the top there is a really nice amount of Ivy growing onto of some Hawthorn.
The Dunnock and Blackcap were somewhere in the Ivy. Β A short distance past the Ivy is a Alder tree, which had a Harlequin Ladybird on it – which features in the video.
BUZZING
Off the bypass is Bristol Road South, I crossed over and headed down there and came across some Buttercups growing on top of some sort of feature; a raised garden brick-structure-thing and saw a few Bees flying around! Β I climbed on top to get a closer look etc.
BROOK
I carried on down the road and admired the grass verge that separates both lanes, as some parts of it haven’t been mown – to deliberately leave strips of wildflower! Β I passed by a lovely park called Manor Farm Park, but decided not to venture into the park and head on down to Merritts Brook Greenway, where I took the pictures blow and end my short film.
I’ll say no more and let the video say the rest π Β Enjoy! π
