Nature day - Fun In Da Park

Published on June 6th, 2007 by Belac Wal in Experiences

We walked to the park were a event was being held we walked across a bridge and took photos of baby ducks and most surprisingly near some large boulders frogs and frogspawn we took photos.

Frogs Mating

In the middle of the park was a stall for nature, free Owl pellet dissection, Owl pellets are not poo they are regurgitated food. I separated fluff and bones and identified what they were, I found two field vole skulls many arm and leg bones and tons of hip bones, we checked what rodent they were by pulling the tiny teeth out with tweezers looking at the undersides of the teeth and matching the pattern with a one on a chart my brother was unlucky he only found small bones until he found the first shrew of the day. We also got our picture in the paper and also in the skegness website (First photo at the top). http://www.skegnessuk.org/Skegness_Easter_Bank_Holiday_photos.html
The dissecting was fun and enjoyable and also a bonus we got our photo in the paper, most people didn’t even join in with the fun just turned away disgusted a man at one of the stalls told me that some girls ran away screaming.

Natureland - Seal Sanctuary Skegness

I went to Natureland Seal Sanctuary

Seals
The main attraction was the seals, they span twisted and darted around amazingly, there was seven seals in a large water-filled Penn, they were see-able through a large pane of clear glass, they swam around and twirled in front of me disappearing and reappearing every so often. The Seals last feed of the day was interesting a member of the staff stepped inside the Penn and fed them it was intriguing how they fed and the speed they reached when they raced after the fish that was thrown too far from them as they vigorously flapped after the fish drop of water splashed out the tank and rain upon us. They played games and a seal hit a plastic ball knocking bowling pins down one at a time everyone applauded the seal when he did, the seal also hit the ball into a small football net.

Drinker Moth Caterpillar

Published on July 13th, 2006 by Belac Wal in Experiences

I was walking with my mum and dad going back from a walk to the duck pond when on the cycle path my dad saw a black caterpillar nice ‘n’ fat with orange fur it was wriggling from the grassy side of the path my Dad got a leaf and put it in front of the Caterpillar and it crawled on it immediately we heard a click snip click sound from the caterpillar as it it slowly munched through the leaf my Dad and Mum pulled up grass and plants with the right leaves it didn’t eat the grass so if we took it home we could pull some up from our back garden and feed it but the stuff don’t grow in my garden i pulled off my NO FEAR baseball cap and put the caterpillar in the cap then put leaves in it the moment we dropped it in the cap it rolled up in a ball we couldn’t take it home or it would die so we dropped it in a side were it was hidden and plenty of grass to eat it couldn’t be found or crawl out.
