Colouring In Bugs for Babies – Day 6 of #30DaysWild 2017
Day 6 of #30DaysWild is another indoor activity due to three things. The first being the miserable weather, the second a baby massage class in the morning, and the third a sleepy boy! I previously said that I wanted to try and make this month a sensory journey for Robin, my 3 month old baby…
A New Hidden Gem Explored – Day 4 of #30DaysWild 2017
Day 4 of #30DaysWild was a bit of a random one. We had actually been in town all day and it wasn’t until we were driving home, that we took a turn down a road we often see but never go down. Robin had been a bit grumpy in town today so it was a…
The David Welch Winter Gardens at Duthie Park – Day 3 of #30DaysWild 2017
Day 3 of #30DaysWild was a trip out to Duthie Park in Aberdeen. Robin has been to this park a few times now, and one of the reasons this park is so great is that they have the David Welch Winter Gardens to wander around. These gardens are covered making it the perfect place to go…

It’s Not the End – Day 30 of #30DaysWild
The time has now come for #30dayswild to end. But with such an amazing response to the campaign many of the ‘Wilders’ will be continuing to explore and create throughout the year, including me! Ok so it may not be every day or even every week but exploring wildlife is something I really enjoy so…
Heron vs. Goosander – Day 29 0f 30 Days Wild
Day 29 of 30 Days Wild is about my most recent walk down by the River Don, in particular about the little interaction I saw. I am so lucky to live so close to a river where I can regularly see Swans and Herons. Here are some pictures from my latest visit. I was also…

Day 27 of 30 Days Wild is about our visit to RSPB Osprey near Boat of Garten in the Cairngorm National Park. We ended up visiting the centre on our way home to Aberdeen from the west coast of Scotland. I don’t really know a huge amount about Ospreys, or should I say I didn’t…
