Today is the 17th day of #30DaysWild! Annual challenge from the UK Wildlife Trusts.

A lunchtime walk around Mudchute Park and Farm today. I saw a large murder of crows in one field, and a small wren hunting in a woodpile. My personal highlight though was a couple of Long-tailed Tit's in a Fir tree.

New species I saw today;

• Long-tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus)
• European Black Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) AKA Elder
• European Mountain Ash (Sorbus aucuparia) AKA rowan
• Mock Oranges (Genus Philadelphus)
