Wild and wacky ways to record Nature's Calendar

Records may be found in the strangest places!

One of our favourites is this set of daffodil flowering dates painted on Alan Chester's garden shed. Alan sends us a new picture of his shed door every spring.

When we analysed the dates, they produced a very clear relationship with temperature.

Perhaps you have taken records in unusual ways? Or maybe you have nature diaries that you could photograph for us.

If so, we would love to hear from you...
