Hiya!
In lieu of this month’s Nature Journal With Me Video, I am sharing an early Tiny Owl Dispatch video from the archive that I hope you find interesting and helpful. It’s rather informal – I literally just turned on the camera over my workspace and started talking.
Also I want to let you know that October is WildTober (sponsored by the Wild Wonder Foundation on Instagram as an alternative to Inktober). I have more information about this if you scroll down past the original post.
Original Post
I love nature journaling because I can pull out all my tools – sight, sound, smell, touch, etc – to work out a problem, solve a mystery, and jump start my research. For this issue of the Dispatch, I’m learning about the bird that dropped this feather on my doorstep:
and creating a nature journal spread about my findings. Enjoy!

Wildtober - An Inktober Alternative
Yesterday I saw on Instagram that the Wild Wonder Foundation is sponsoring their own version of Inktober (the drawing with ink challenge that’s been around years), and I instantly thought of you!
You can read the note I posted here:
I love the prompts they’ve come up with. I’m going to try to do as many of them as time allows and post them in the chat thread I started for us. I hope you will join me!
Here are the prompts:
Support
Cricklewood is a space where we can learn from nature and each other as we rewild. Because nature journaling is so beneficial to our well-being, I make almost all of the content available to all subscribers.
To be completely blunt, however, Cricklewood cannot exist without the support of its readers. This publication provides one of my income streams in a year with paid subscriptions funding all content creation and activities that happen here.
If you find this content interesting, valuable, and want to support this project, please consider becoming a paid subscriber.
Other ways to support my work
If a paid subscription isn’t for you, consider hiring me for illustration or purchase original art.
Sharing this newsletter, commenting on posts, and engaging with my posts on Notes (in the App) are all fine ways of supporting my work.
And finally, if you just can’t swing a subscription but want access to all the content, just drop me an email and ask me to comp you a paid subscription. I’m happy to do so, no explanations needed. Things happen to all of us, and I don’t want lack of funds to be the reason you can’t reap the benefits of nature journaling.
