Woodland path

Bugs and Beasties

Wildflowers

Varying through the year, there are often lots of different flowers along the path. Challenge yourself to spot (don't pick — instead, maybe take a photograph) at least 4 different flowers during your walk. Some are big, some are small, some are brightly coloured. These all attract different kinds of insects — different insects have different shaped mouthparts, and so certain flowers are better for long-tongued butterflies than short-tongued bees, for example.
