- 30 Days Wild is an initiative organised by the Wildlife Trusts. It is an annual challenge event, for those who choose to participate, to do one ‘wild’ thing a day throughout the month of June. I will try to write a nature haiku every day if I can, as my contribution to this celebration of wildlife and biodiversity. I did this back in 2015 and thoroughly enjoyed the challenge.

- Yesterday I was lucky enough to watch three, at least, fox cubs playing on the far bank of the urban River Frome. I was captivated by them, having first heard them rustling in the undergrowth. I watched on for about ten minutes, wishing that I could share the moment with other passer’s by, but there were none. I had to leave because the dog, bless him, was getting restless. He couldn’t see the fox cubs because the river is bounded by a 4ft high wall. My photographs were a bit fuzzy because I was on full zoom, this is one of the better ones.
