Doorstep Safari!
From butterflies to beetles and frogs to finches, how many can you spot over the weekend? Better yet, team up with (or compete against!) your neighbours or friends to see just how many you can find.
Pull up a garden chair to listen for the screech of a swift overhead, or peer closely among the shrubs and pots in search of a marmalade hoverfly or red soldier beetle. Children will love hunting for worms, ladybirds, woodlice and snails!
Do tell us what else you see – and fear not, if you come across a creature that you can’t identify, our team of experts will be on hand on email, Twitter (X) and Instagram to help!
