Wild photos
Check out the Guardian’s Week in Wildlife…amazing wildlife photography from around the world. My current favourite is this Japanese White Eye on the cherry blossom in Shinjuku park, Tokyo.

A night at the museum
Recreate the Ben Stiller’s film, but hopefully without all the scary bits…The Natural History Museum are having an torchlit tour round the exhibits this July.

Become a nutter!
Harvest mice
Help the People’s Trust for Endangered Species by joining their Great Nut Hunt. Keep an eye out for nibbled hazelnuts as they’re a good sign of the elusive dormouse. In fact they’re so elusive, I’ve only got pictures of sleepy harvest mice! Find out how to become a nutter here

Cat palace
Snow monkeys aside, Japan’s also famous for Nekobukuro in Tokyo. Dozens of cats roam freely and for a small fee, you can go inside and stroke, watch or, in my case, discover your childhood cat allergy has returned.

Snow monkey business
The Jigokudani monkeys in Japan keep warm in the mountains by taking a bath in the naturally hot springs. We saw them in March when it was still snowing, but you can catch up with all the monkey news with a live webcam here
