We found out lots about the local pond wildlife and got to see them up close!
Then, we built shelters to protect us from the elements (including some man-made rain which Miss McKitterick got a little carried away with!).
After lunch, we created mammal hotels. These included food, water and bedding for the mammal. We're hoping tomorrow will bring us lots of mammals to study in our hotels before releasing back into their natural habitat.
Finally, we conducted a hunt for evidence around the conservation area - we found lots of tracks, droppings and snuffle holes to show us which animals had been hanging around the area.
We even managed to fit in many trips to the adventure playground...
This evening, if all that activity wasn't enough, we were lucky enough to visit the hide, where we saw badgers and foxes - LH said that it was the best day of his life!
Finally, we had a talk by a wildlife photographer who had many interesting photos to show us. We were so enthused by his stories that we wanted his autograph and photos!
As Miss Dickinson writes this blog, we are all tucked up in bed and ready for a new adventure tomorrow. Check out the next installment of the blog tomorrow!
