Snapshot Scavenger Hunt 1,2,3
Take only photos – leave only footprintsOne blue eggshell under a hedge.
Two fallen acorns, in their cups.
Three barn owl pellets, full of bones.
Four empty snail shells, left by birds.
Five magpie feathers, black and white
Six dead flies on a spider’s web.
Seven wriggling worms, after rain.
Eight sycamore keys, wing shaped seeds.
Nine shallow deer prints, in fresh snow.
Ten spiky beech husks, on the ground.
Two fallen acorns, in their cups.
Three barn owl pellets, full of bones.
Four empty snail shells, left by birds.
Five magpie feathers, black and white
Six dead flies on a spider’s web.
Seven wriggling worms, after rain.
Eight sycamore keys, wing shaped seeds.
Nine shallow deer prints, in fresh snow.
Ten spiky beech husks, on the ground.
