CLUB challenge

Friday 6th January 2012
 
Happy New Year!

Although the weather has been
very windy in many parts of the UK
it's still very mild for this time of year.

Nature is being fooled into thinking it's
spring and flowers like snowdrops have
appeared early.

  

Your challenge - to spot snowdrops

 

If you go down to the woods today...

Get outdoors and make your walk even more fun by taking along our top spots for this week.

You can also find out fun facts and what wildlife to keep an eye out for.

Get snapping

We'd love to see photos of the snowdrops you find. Send us a snap and we'll publish it on the website :O)

Even if the flowers aren't open and you can only see the shoots if you get up close you can get some very arty shots.

Here's a pretty snowdrop after a shower of rain:
