Day 89

#89 - you might have seen a couple of weeks ago on my story I spotted a hummingbird moth - had to google it as hadn’t a clue what I had just seen !! So here he is for my 100 day project.

Day 88

#88 and I love these little fungi - mushroom parasols - they’re so delicate and you can see light through the gills before they start to curl up.


Day 87

#87 #tigermoth ... only seen one once and the flash of orange is beautiful.

Day 86

Day 86 and all the bees love a foxglove.

Day 85

#85 of my 100 day project and it’s a little weasel ... we mainly see stoats but occasionally you spot the smaller weasel, usually darting from one hedge to another.


Day 84

#84 ... my sister found a little toad at the farm recently. We aren’t sure where he came from!


Day 83

#83 - dock and the saver of nettle stings... anyone else remember using dock leaves?


Day 82

#82 -acorn. We have quite a few oak trees on the farm. The squirrels love them! We have a seedling growing by the front door in a plant pot after a squirrel decided to bury one in there!


Day 81

#81 and it’s a  wasp beetle my #100dayproject ... 
I always love a stripe!

Day 80

#80 of my 100 day project and the humble nettle ... annoying but the mini beasts love them.


Day 79

#79 and I’ve definitely seen a cub under the other cherry tree but a bit bigger than this one. Just waiting for this tree to ripen and expecting lots of nature visitors hopefully.

Day 78

#78 of my 100 day project and it’s the swallows .. a bit late this year, but usually they turn up as summer is arriving and you know summer is over, when they all line up on the telephone wire, before heading off.


Sunday 16 June 2019

Day 77

Day #77 of my 100 day project ... not sure what the real name is, but we call this plant sticky willies as they lots of barbs on and stick to your clothes (they also have lots of little balls .. need I say more). Hours of fun when we were small! 


Saturday 15 June 2019

Day 76

Good morning it’s now day #76 of my 100 day project ... wagtail or  willy wagtail . I love watching their tails bob up and down.


Day 75

#75 three quarters way through.....phew! Today it’s a vole - we occasionally see one scuttle across the drive into the hedge from the field ...


Thursday 13 June 2019

Day 74

Day #74 of my  100 day project and the wet weather has bought out the snails... Alfie loves  searching for snails..... I’d rather they didn’t eat my plants.


Day 73

#73 and some more foliage for my 100 day project and it’s wild grass today.


Wednesday 12 June 2019

Day 72

The barley is now in ear ... seeing that it’s a farm I ought to add a bit of crop!


Monday 10 June 2019

Day 71

Green shield bug that landed on me the other day... such a bright green!


Day 70

#70 of my 100 day project... the thistle and we plenty of these around the fields ... I think they’re good for birds and wee beasties?


Saturday 8 June 2019

Day 69

 #69 of my 100 day project and it’s a little squirrel - I wouldn’t say it’s a baby but the one I see is probably only two thirds the size of Sid so probably just still very young(and also quite a bit darker).


Friday 7 June 2019

Day 68

#68 box hedge caterpillar which turned up at the farm this week ... got a couple of hedges here that they decimated and hopefully saved the two big ones! Hmmmmmmmm 


Day 67

Day #67 of my 100 day project and the elderflower is in full bloom and makes great cordial.


Thursday 6 June 2019

Day 66

#66 and back to the elements not the scene ... you probably won’t see that until the end now. Here’s a bit of ivy to climb up the tree ... it’s good at Christmas for decorating!


Wednesday 5 June 2019

Day 65

#65 of my 100 day project and I’ve added a tree stump (and a picture of the real thing) - when we lose a tree here, we usually make a feature of the stump rather than uproot it - this one has daffodils in a circle round it and looks great in spring and the mini beasts love it too.



Tuesday 4 June 2019

Day 64

#64 and thought I’d add the cherry tree seeing it’s so popular with the wildlife here... had to make it leafless so it’ll show any inhabitants later! (follow me on Instagram and see the night cam shots of the deer,muntjac, foxes, badger and others enjoying the cherries @katybobsyouraunty 


Monday 3 June 2019

Day 63

Day 63 and a bit more habitat for my 100 day project - not very interesting images but the critters need somewhere to live !


Sunday 2 June 2019

Day 62

#62 and I’ll still be setting the scenery for the next few days for my 100 day project (where I’m drawing nature on our farm for 100 days.) Today is a mossy log and a good habitat for the mini beasts. 


Saturday 1 June 2019

Day 61

#61 and decided to widen the scene so I can fit more in for my 100 day project - so today I’ve added some grass and a field of wheat.
