Leach's Petrel

I went to Wilstone with my dad to see a Leach's Petrel. I'd never seen one before and I drew this picture of it and then used watercolour to paint it. I also used acrylic for the eye and beak.

Caterpillar

At my school I found this caterpillar and drew it to identify it. I still didn't know what it was though.

Bats at Savernake Forest

Me and my dad went to Savernake forest to go bating were I got to see bats up close and even hold them. First in the day we got bats out there bat boxes and later at night we put up mist nets around the entrance to a disused railway. Throughout the day I saw some Common Pipistrelles, some Brown Long-eared Bats, a Noctule Bat, some Natterer’s Bats and a Daubenton’s Bat. I drew a picture of a Daubenton’s Bat and a Natterer’s Bat. The Daubenton’s bat was a little smaller and lighter brown, and had a bit of a cuter and rounder face than the Natterer’s Bats. I did a pencil sketch of the two bats.

Pensthorpe

I went to Pensthorpe today and took these photos...
