Diario de happybird44

Today is the 1st day of #30DaysWild! Annual challenge from the UK Wildlife Trusts. I decided to go down to Wapping by the River Thames in London to see what I could find. Despite being rather windy and overcast I saw some insects, birds (including one of my personal favourites, a Jay), a Ladybird Pupa, a couple of butterflies and lots of pollinators. I saw some fast flying house martins (too quick to photograph) but I did catch one sitting in it's nest. I also looked up as I was walking under a tree and was surprised to see a Collared-Dove sitting on her nest.
New species I saw today;
Eurasian Collared-Dove
Dunnock
Red-barred Tortrix
(a full list of everything I saw can be found here; https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?on=2024-06-01&place_id=any&user_id=happybird44&verifiable=any)

I took a short walk today in my lunch break to Mudchute park and farm. I only took my phone so no great pictures. Everywhere was very green, but rather cold and no insects that I noticed. The crows were rather shy - I only managed to photograph a couple, but I was able to photograph a lot of magpies. One cheeky squirrel was inside the cage for the Geese - I got a couple of nice pictures. Around the far side of the park behind the allotments I found a tree full of titmice, Blue tits, Great tits and Long-tailed tits. Sadly I wasn't able to photograph any with my phone.
