I have to say that the WildLifeTrust's
#30DayChallenge has been tricky this year due to unrelenting workload and rain. I didn't get out to nature reserves this time but I noticed and appreciated the nature around me as I went about my daily routine, here in Uckfield and around the office that I visit
in Birmingham.
The met office post shows that rainfall has been significantly higher than usual - it was about 125% in Birmingham and Sussex but this doesn't tell the full story of sulky skies that make photography a pain rather than a pleasure.
On a lighter note, flicking through my photos from the Wild Life Trusts' #30DaysWild I realised that the weather conditions had tested my collection of hats to the limit!

| June 2nd - Shivering on Watford Junction Station. |
At the beginning of the month it was still very cold so I was still wearing my woolly beret.
 |
| 5th June - The sun popped out for the 2nd part of Garden BioBlitz. |
Just a few days in, when doing my BioBlitz, a brief sunny spell meant that I needed my battered old gardening hat.
 |
| 11th June - Getting hotter |
Hotter sun means a bigger hat!
 |
| 14th June - I'm wearing a waterproof tweed cap for a reason. |
Then the rains came down and went on, and on, and on.
 |
| 19th June - This is a bit more like June. |
By the 19th, things were getting back to normal, changeable English weather with some weekday sunshine alternating with weekend rain. I was in Birmingham for the last few, grey days and I will write these up later. I've enjoyed finding nature as I go about my daily business and will continue enjoying MyWildLife.
