Autumnwatch at Thurstaston

Last weekend found the Watch group out and about looking for signs of Autumn. We thought about how plants and animals survive the winter...



...noticing the seeds and berries on the trees and bushes and remembering the birds we saw in spring which have now migrated.



When we got to The Dungeons we collected short branches from the woodland floor and placed them carefully, covering them with leaves to create a habitat pile. This will provide a winter home for many invertebrates.
