Here are some we did earlier in Kings Wood, our local wood. We had great fun doing it but in the end we had to leave because the light was going. Click on the images to enlarge.

Challenge

Why not get out and spot some blossom yourselves, there’s loads out there at the moment.

And for some more inspiration here’s a Flickr Cherry Blossom group slideshow..

Isaac’s spotting challenge theme for the Easter break is of course… “Spring“. Tell us about what you see over the holiday and lets see your photos too.

• Daffodils
• Lambs
• Blossom
• Tadpoles

And of course you’re welcome tell us about anything else that you spot this spring.

The Woodland trust have some Easter activity sheets on their nature detectives site, including the ‘Easter Hunt spotter sheet’ seen here. Click on the photo to go to the pdf download page.

If you manage to get any photos of your spring nature spots please share them in the comments, I’ve got a page [updated again] on how to post images into your comments here.

We spotted lots if things in the holidays on Exmoor. Exmoor ponies and sheep, lambs, pheasants and a dipper.

Do tell us about your spots over the Easter break

• What we can find at the seaside ?
  

For inspiration this is a flickr slideshow from the British Marine Life Study Society

If you’re going to go spotting on the beach remember to be careful, follow the ‘seashore code‘, and watch out out for the tide ! You can download some rockpooling pdf’s here: bbc/breathingplaces/marineweek/

Here’s some more links to usefull websites for more info:

Tell us what you find down at the beach this summer !

Oh, and if you live in the middle of the prairies, or on a mountain-side, ;-), or you’re just not going to the seaside this summer, wildlife spotted at rivers and lakes will count too !

• What creatures can you find in your garden ?

Lets see if we can find some interesting wildlife in our gardens this week. Use the comments to add your finds to this post.

Good luck from Isaac

Note: This is an “open challenge” there is no time limit. You can add anything you spot in your garden to this post whenever you like !
