Lacock Abbey bug hunt

Today i visited Laycock Abbey, they had a bug hunting day. We fished in a pond with some little nets. In the water were some snails, tadpoles, waterboatmen and pond skaters. We had a picnic on the bench and spotted butterflies, bees and ladybirds on flowers nearby. I got a bat sticker for my wild child book. It was sunny and cloudy.

The hedgehogs were all asleep but i did see; a huge tortoise, two foxes, some owls, guinea pigs, chickens, ferrets and i held a rabbit. I made a bee hotel and Jacob made a bird feeder, I got a t-shirt. They have a brilliant playground, i had a fun day.
