When to Watch
Wildlife is a
month by month guide to the
wildlife highlights around Britain.
Summer marches on. On hot, sunny days
the countryside resounds with the steady hum of bees and
stridulating grasshoppers. Butterflies, dragonflies and
damselflies make fascinating watching during the month of
August,
but perhaps the most exciting place to be is the beach, where
rock pools burst with life - so go enjoy!
| In
August late flowers attract day flying
moths |
 |
|
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.
