	Tracking the course of the natural events through the recording of the actions of plants and animals (with special reference to climate) is called phenology. For example it is recording when you heard the first cuckoo or saw the blackthorn blossom. This can then be compared with other records. Go to the Phenology web site to learn more about this fascinating subject. (Note: this site shuts down for winter - don't we all!).
