We are looking forward to welcoming everyone who is booked in to tomorrow's foraging session! To get you in the Wildlife Watch zone, here is a post from Leader Claire, about last month's fab session!:
"Perth Wildlife Watch had so much βfawnβ on Saturday at our Deer-Oh-Deer session on Kinnoull Hill! π¦
First, we coloured in some pictures of the six species of deer found in the UK (only two are native!), but with a twist! Instead of pens and pencils, we used soil as our paint π¨
After washing our hands, leader Jess challenged everyone to a treasure hunt! Like a modern-day Mystery Inc. we split up and looked for clues, which were all hidden around the forest. Once everyone found all 6 of their clues, we regrouped and tried to solve which species of deer our clues were about π. We had pictures of the different deer species to help us, and even some real roe, red and fallow deer antlers. Of course, both groups guessed correctly - what a bunch of antler-llectuals!
After a quick break to enjoy some chocolate eggs, it was time for a game of Stag & Doe to learn about the importance of apex predators πΊπ»
Finally, we headed back outside to collect more materials for our deer pictures. This time it was grass, lichen and catkins to make greens and yellows πΎβ
