my climbing tree...: March 2012
http://myclimbingtree.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Ideas for a wild childhood. Saturday, March 31, 2012. Please read this inspiring report. Realeased today by the National Trust, written by Stephen Moss. It's evidence based writing on the fact that our children are losing access to nature. Wild places are not just for the middle classes who can afford large private gardens, it should be for everyone and within easy access of where you and I live. Can this type of environment be described as part of a sustainable future? Links to this post. Over the past ...

Birding Poole Harbour & Beyond: October 2014
http://birdingpooleharbourandbeyond.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
31 Oct 14 - You Can Never Have Enough Yellow-browed Warblers At Studland. A quick initial view as it emerged to the pishing. It quickly got bored and turned away. Yellow-browed Warbler: A final flash of its wingbars as it waved goodbye and it was gone. I had a quick look around to try and find the other one. No joy, but a tight flock of 3 Firecrests all quietly calling to each other was nice. Then I too had to head off to more mundane tasks for the rest of the day. Martin Cade makes some interesting poin...

Birding Poole Harbour & Beyond: June 2015
http://birdingpooleharbourandbeyond.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
28 June 15 - Birding The Pirate Beach. After a great boat trip watching the Brown Fish Owl. There was time for a quick look around the edges of the Green Canyon reservoir. This is one of the Eastern subspecies known as Steppe Buzzard. We stopped briefly at the bridge just below the dam where there were a group of Red-rumped Swallows flying around. Looking towards the dam. The river just below the dam. Not the best of photos, but it is a Photo Tick. This was one of about ten boats just off the beach.

Ideas for a wild childhood. Tuesday, February 07, 2012. A winter walk and imbolc. In my last post. beauty and bread. I wrote about the fast roads on the way to Calcot. What I didn't write about was the magic we had when we got there. Thanks to my friend Kristal over at Little Drops of Awen,. H and I were given an insight into the very ancient tradition of Imbolc. Onward into the woods to find snowdrops, feathers, pine cones and ladybirds. H, G and E climbed everything they could find. Nature is just so s...

my climbing tree...: ...Lower Wallop...
http://myclimbingtree.blogspot.com/2012/06/lower-wallop.html
Ideas for a wild childhood. Sunday, June 10, 2012. I'm in love with a farm. Last September I met the Roberts family who live at Lower Wallop. They have three hundred acres of organic food, semi-ancient woods, bats, barn owls and otters. I haven't felt able to blog for a month, as I've been so busy exploring the farm and helping Angus and Mandy open their farm gates to the local community. Six months of planning led to an event called a BioBlitz. Peter keeping the kids happy with gruesome tales of bones.

my climbing tree...: New year, new beginnings
http://myclimbingtree.blogspot.com/2013/01/new-year-new-beginnings.html
Ideas for a wild childhood. Sunday, January 13, 2013. New year, new beginnings. What a start to 2013! I am about to launch "My Climbing Tree" as a new business. It's taken a lot of thought, but my simple aim is to connect communities to wildlife at a grassroots level. This means I will be getting out the maps and discovering local allotments, school growing projects, Forest Schools and walking groups. Anyone who values their plot of greenspace can get involved. I will also share some of my favourite plac...

my climbing tree...: Wild walks to school
http://myclimbingtree.blogspot.com/2014/02/wild-walks-to-school.html
Ideas for a wild childhood. Friday, February 28, 2014. Wild walks to school. Mornings in term time are hectic. I get up earlier and earlier in order to try and get out of the house on time, but always end up with the last minute rush to get to school. School is only a ten minute walk away, but with Harry it could take anything up to an hour if I let him! This morning, however, I left a whole half hour earlier and let Harry follow his nose, so to speak. I think kids are fascinated. Yelled Harry. "BLOW!
