walking through the seasons is the book i have written about local wildlife in the droitwich spa area.The book takes you through the seasons starting with winter and tells you about animals and plants.There are also eight local walks and eight recipes in the book.The final chapter tells you how to encourage wildlife into your garden.After every season there is a photo opportunity and things to see during every month.The book has been proof read and i hope to have it in various book shops soon.
Conservation for the future.

Poly morphism
This is when the same species will be different colours,This is how they make sure the species will always survive,An example of this is the banded snail. They change colour depending on their habitat.For example on a woodland floor on various leaf litter, The snails that don't blend in as well on the leaf litter,will be predated by song thrushes.This is why on the leaf litter the brown snails will survive and the yellow ones will be predated.
