Today is the 1st day of #30DaysWild! Annual challenge from the UK Wildlife Trusts.

I decided to go down to Wapping by the River Thames in London to see what I could find. Despite being rather windy and overcast I saw some insects, birds (including one of my personal favourites, a Jay), a Ladybird Pupa, a couple of butterflies and lots of pollinators. I saw some fast flying house martins (too quick to photograph) but I did catch one sitting in it's nest. I also looked up as I was walking under a tree and was surprised to see a Collared-Dove sitting on her nest.

New species I saw today;

• Eurasian Collared-Dove
• Dunnock
• Red-barred Tortrix

(a full list of everything I saw can be found here; https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?on=2024-06-01&place_id=any&user_id=happybird44&verifiable=any)
