A Daily Challenge to SPY wildlife in your garden/outdoors. 

The aim is to SPY and identify each of the following:-
A Bird
A Butterfly or Moth (incuding caterpillar, chrysalis and imago)
A Bee or Wasp
A Mollusc
An insect or spider
Another living creature (you can only use a "named human" or a "pet" once Wink)

Every day must be different - for example, once you're seen a Robin, you can't SPY him again.

Oh that’s a good challenge.
The only bird I can think of beginning with A is an albatross! Going to be tricky to spot one of these in my garden.
I’m definitely up for playing this one.

Back later with a list of A’s if I see any.

Edit 
I just re-read your post not an alphabetical challenge.   Blush  Well that makes things considerably easier  Cool 
Ok back with a list of wildlife later.  Does it have to be in the garden or can it be visible from the garden?

Edit….again 
Fine ! Forget my last question! I’m obviously have trouble reading/ understanding perfectly simple things today. 

I’ve definitely got it this time

If it makes you feel better, I rewrote the post a couple of times as it didn't make sense to me either. Big Grin
basically, you can SPY them anywhere but only once.
I thought we could do it every month to show the changes in wildlife through the year.
We'll count today and tomorrow as March unless you want to have a couple of days in February to practice. Big Grin

A bird - white tailed eagle. 3 flying about overhead. I don’t see them every day so definitely mentioning them on the day I do.
A moth or butterfly - none
A bee or wasp - British black bees (honey bee). There first proper day out of the year. Very good to see.
A mollusc - a garden snail ( after research to ID the variety). Still hibernating in the sheet that’s covering the manure heap.
A insect - a spider . Species not identified as not officially an insect
Another living creature - fallow deer .
                 

Not good photos but evidence. No eagles they wouldn’t have even been dots on the screen.

Its going to be difficult to keep up with you, SC. Big Grin
I've added Spider to the Insect category and I'll add Caterpillar to the Butterfly/moth one.

I'm taking mine from the last day I was in the garden, but I'm not sure I'll find a different one a day.

A bird - longtailed tit
A Butterfly or Moth - a brimstone I think, it was sulphur yellow
A Bee or Wasp - some sort of bumble dive bombed me, I've no idea what sort.
A Mollusc - snail
An insect - woodlouse
Another - field spaniel puppy
Gardening is an excuse not to do housework
