We had a message about the butterfly count 2016.

big butterfly count 2016 Dear Mo, Thank you for taking part in big butterfly count 2016. You’ve done something really important today by sending us your sightings of 10 butterflies of 4 different species. You will help us identify changes in butterfly numbers as well as tracking migration and monitoring the impact of climate change on these delicate creatures. Here’s a certificate to show that you’ve taken part. We have some amazing butterflies and moths in the UK but many are suffering dramatic declines with some even facing extinction. Butterfly Conservation is the only specialist UK charity successfully taking action to save them. With your help we are working hard to secure a future for butterflies by protecting the habitats they rely on

Granny found the skin of a dragonfly.
Tom found a toad in our garden and we tried to keep it,so we could  show it to granny. But he showed her the photo instead. Granny found a baby frog trying to get out of a bucket of water, she helped it out and it hopped away..
Last week Emily helped granny pick raspberries and strawberries.
today we found some mushrooms.
Granny found an ants nest under a pile grass but when she moved the grass again today to show it to Tom he thought it was underground, there were adult ants everywhere, but no larvae or ants with  wings.
