Peter Holden has suggested some birds, butterflies and sea creatures to look out for in the country and by the sea over the next couple of months. Further suggestions from gransnetters very welcome. sunshine

If you can I recommend rockpooling. You don't need children but some adults like to take them as an excuse. Take a net and a container for pool water.

I love moving a clump of seaweed or lifting a stone to find creatures hiding underneath. If you want you can catch the creature and put it in your container so you can have a closer look at it or photograph it before you put it back.

Have I mentioned I'm growing down and not up lol.
