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