Hi, I'm Rudi, i'm 8 years old and my favourite book is 'Tarka the Otter' by Henry Williamson. Its about the life of an otter named Tarka and British Wildlife. One night i was reading the book with my dad and i said that i wanted to see all the animals in the book, he said i should do it and call it the Tarka Challenge. My Tarka Challenge started on 1st January 2012. The book contains 89 birds, 54 land based animals, 120 plants and 56 aquatic organisms.
The rules are simple, i must either see each thing myself or photograph it using my trail camera. I will try and see each thing on my local patch (Ogmore River Catchment) but may need to look somewhere else in Britain.
Another Hawkmoth Caterpillar!
Some friends just found this caterpillar and asked me to identify it...
Im pretty sure its an
Elephant Hawkmoth (Deilphila elpenor)
It gets its name from the trunk like snout of the caterpillar. The maoth is orange and pink and lives in woodlands and gardens.
I love nature too - I saw your blog in the RSPB magazine! Infact, I've set up my own one and I've kind of copied you sorry... thecharmofbirds.weebly.com
I read about your blog in the RSPB magazine too! Lucky to be featured + your blog is great! I have a blog about hamsters, but I love nature too - we have a fox that comes to my garden every night, but every time I see it I am still amazed by how beautiful they are. (If you want to look at my blog, it's hannah-animal-tales.blogspot.com)
Thanks for the comments, great blog Hannah and Rose, keep on posting. I think it takes a couple of weeks before a new blog comes up on google search, mine wouldnt come up to start with. Im glad you enjoyed reading.
Hi Rudi, I think that your blog is really amazing! It is such a brave and creative challenge - and the lists are really good ideas. I have always wanted to see a snowy owl - GOOD LUCK! :) You're probably bored to death of people giving you their blog names, but I set mine up yesterday inspired by you! http://102thingstodowithrubbish.blogspot.com/ Your fan, Katy the Bird Lover
