St. John Ambulance Remembrance Day Parade!

Today was the remembrance day parade and lots of local groups including St. John Ambulance, Air cadets, Army cadets, Sea cadets, Brownies + Guides (in the brownies and guides I went to they didn't learn to march, I didn't go there long so whatever), and a few other groups all met up to parade though Worksop for Remembrance day! Honestly, It was much better than I thought it would be. I was quite worried. But it was actually pretty good! Well, ... except the church part in which I actually nearly fell asleep, but I know a lot of people do believe in that sort of stuff so I'll keep my opinions to myself! But most of it was just marching, which Grandad thought was pretty........ Rubbish... -_- (Grandad's old so he went to the really old cadets where everything's done perfectly, hehe). Oh, and by the way as I'm writing this I am admiring how fast I can now type :) I taught myself :)! Anyway, it was pretty good. We started off marching down to the cenotaph from Savoy cinema where we sang "god save the queen" and loads of other stuff then the poppies were laid down and we set off marching again. until we got to the church then all that stuff happend then we marched all the way back to Savoy cinema.

Seahorses could be extinct in 30 years: Trade in dried wildlife souvenirs could see the marine creatures wiped out!!! HUNDREDS, MAYBE THOUSANDS!!!  © The Seahorse Trust Seahorses could be wiped out within 30 years by the illegal sale of dead wildlife as curiosities, according to a conservation charity.   The Seahorse Trust are trying to achieve a new target to stop the sale of dried marine animals as holiday keepsakes.

INCUBATING EGGS!!!!!

Image
Today we started to Incubate 3 eggs so HOPEFULLY, In about 21 days, we will have little chicks... Here is some info on incubation!: PERFECT TEMPERATURE!!! ;)  First off, eggs will normally hatch in around 21 days, sometimes they could hatch a day or 2 early or late. Secondly, eggs need to be placed in the incubator a week or less after being laid.(We put them in a few hours after being laid:)!) An ideal temperature for a hens egg to hatch should be around 37.5 °C but 35. °C to 40.5°C is OK! You NEED to turn the eggs about 3 times a day to prevent the embryo sticking to the inside of the egg shell! DO NOT turn the eggs after the 18th day! We've 4 chickens of our own, 3 hens and 1 cockerel so the eggs were incubating are from our own hens which in my case makes it even more exiting! Our cockerel is a Light Sussex, one of our hens is a White Leghorn, another one is a Bluebell, and the last one is a Speckeldy so we don't know what we will come out with!

Owl Pellet

Image
Today we decided to take apart an owl pellet that my grandad found. Owl pellets are regurgitated and contain all the animals’ parts that they can’t digest. They normally contain bone, teeth, hair and feathers of various animals eaten by the owls. First I soaked it in water, Then I put a few drops of disinfectant in. Then I carefully pulled it apart. We found loads of feathers and a few bones. It was quite disappointing because I thought we would at least get a skull. :-( It was more interesting then I thought it would be. Here are a few of the bones that we found. We are hoping to find another pellet soon which might have more it in. :)
