Today is the 2nd day of #30DaysWild! Annual challenge from the UK Wildlife Trusts.

I went to the pond by Hackney City farm to watch, and to see which creatures came and went. No newts to be seen today, but a lot of sparrows were in the trees and amongst the reeds. They were bathing, drinking and catching insects, all the while being very noisy. Good to see so many of them. There were a few Dragonflies and Damselflies about. I walked back via a couple of small parks and saw some Butterflies, Bees and more sparrows.

New species I saw today;

• Large Red Damselfly
• Broad-bodied Chaser
• Small White
• Common Mallow Pear-shaped Weevil (Malvapion malvae)
