    Congrats Petal and what good choice for the theme.

    My 1st entry "Wild mushrooms"

    Found these on a bending tree. They look amazing!

    Hi Rosietu

    We spotted him on a small river in Oxfordshire. As far as we could see he's the only Manderin duck lives there.

    Wild and Wonderful - that means Upper Teesdale to me! Its one of the wildest places in northern England and home to some of our rarest and most beautiful wild flowers. Here are three of them:
