42 Learning & Growing The following week we sited Essex Wildlife Trust’s Abberton Reservoir for moth trapping, bug hunting and pond dipping. The girls had their own ‘Love Island’ session where they found a male and female silver diving beetle and introduced them to one another. These were quite a find – they’re the UK’s second largest beetle and very lively. We finished the term with rounders and a picnic on the field. Our visits outside the meeting place have included: • St. George’s Day Parade, helping at the Colchester 10K race manning water stations, • Girlguiding takeover to the cinema to watch Inside Out 2, • A visit to RSPB Minsmere for a day of wildlife themed activities.
