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.
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.
