Nature watch!

This week I have asked you to extend your butterfly search to find at least 3 species. Look at them closely and then draw what you remember as carefully as you can. I gave a website last week to help you identify them.
Buttercup: 
This is a very common wild flower and used to be used by children to see if you liked butter or not! It was held under a child's chin and if it shone on the skin it meant you liked butter.
Robin run the hedge: you or your family might have a differnet name for this, we used to call it "stickyback" because it stuck to your clothes and the dog always had it caught in his coat!

Great tit and blue tit 

The great tit has a black cap and sings "teacher teacher" while the blue tit has a blue cap and an eye band like Zorro! The high pitched trilling song is often written as "tsee-tsee-tsee-chu-chu-chu".
