Nature detectives

Today was another brilliant day with some sunny spells. To explore autumn with its majestic beauty is very fascinating. Big children at college and home doing their works. Backpack with lens, binoculars, sketch pads, pencils ready to explore. .. These days we were looking at birds in gardens and birds in water.  It was a quiet day , lovely and warm , looked at various types of leaves. 

   Good time we spent close to mini peer , splashing water, made paper boats, watching swan at far with binoculars.  Different types of swans were identified- mute swan with big S shaped neck, whopper swan with long neck and the last one is Bewick swan with round head.

 All the birds hovering around..looked at why birds migrate at this time and some animals hibernate. 

  With so many Michaelmas daisies(aster flowers) bloomed around this season. Such a lovely gaze to watch these flowers reminder of St Michael feast just passed....in the autumn.

Our primary focus was to watch varieties of swan in the water park. Forgot to take feed fir the birds, so geo was bit cranky. But we managed it.

Our lapbook for the autumn season. Looked at squirrels , animals that hibernate and migrate, life cycle of pumpkin. Our corn is nearly ready in our back garden. It was so curious to know the hibernation of hedgehogs, tried to sketch it.
