#30DaysWild – Days 15 – 22

Ok, so I fell behind somewhat on my #30DaysWild blogging – oops! Not to worry though, I have been connecting with nature every day despite being busy with work, AFON bits and pieces, and general life stuff. I won’t go into every single wild act that happened every day, so here is a summary, shown through my tweets.

After last week's theme of yellow, today's theme for my lunchtime walk at @WimpoleEstateNT was pink! #30DaysWild pic.twitter.com/oZOvTAJb61

Bee Orchids (Ophrys apifera)! <3 <3 <3

Somehow, and after quite a bit of searching, I found the Bee Orchid from last week again. And in fact, I found a further 6 plants! Then later that day, I was informed of two more locations of Bee Orchids on the estate, which is fantastic news indeed.

Not a big haul in the trap last night at Wimpole, but I was happy to catch this Pale Tussock. #teammoth #30DaysWild pic.twitter.com/OLBw8pt8zo

I was able to put the moth trap out at Wimpole for the first time in ages (since I need to be there two days in a row to run the trap). There wasn’t much, but I did catch this beautiful Pale Tussock moth (Calliteara pudibunda).

Yday's rain meant that it was quiet at Wimpole & I could watch a m House Sparrow feeding this fledgling. #30DaysWild pic.twitter.com/RFP1kFSnVb
