When to Watch Wildlife
 

When to Watch Wildlife is a month by month guide to the wildlife highlights around Britain.

Visit my blog: http://wildlifewanderings.blogspot.com/ for a personal, local wildlife journal.

The countryside is now settling down to the slower rhythms of high summer.  Many birds have finished breeding and so the dawn chorus is now over for another year; we're left with the steady hum of bees and stridulating grasshoppers to keep us company. However moths, butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies make fascinating watching in this month of July - so go enjoy!

In July the arable weeds start to come into their own - look out for fields of crimson poppies  

See our nature notes for what's where.  Also on our site, you'll find lots of great stuff about natural history, plus links to wildlife blogs and other fab sites across the web (check out the website of the month below). So enjoy what's on offer here, then get out and explore life beyond your computer.
