Despite enjoying our electronic diary here online, I am finding the children do not take this diary as personally as I would have liked a nature diary to become! So we are again starting individual 'paper' nature diaries. 
The advantage of course of having an electronic diary is that you are at liberty to put a million and one photographs into it with little extra cost.
The advantage of the old fashioned paper diary/journal is that you get to practise drawing/painting, sketching etc from real life! And a child is not limited to a computer screen in preparation time; meaning that with the electronic diary, journaling/recording is done at home after a nature escapade. 
A paper nature diary is more portable and can be carried with you and can be used on any given nature expidition, given the time and right circumstance i.e. not too hot, windy or rainy. 
Of course the whole world can share an electronic nature diary, but then an old fasioned paper diary can be a book that is made for keeps that can be kept to show your grandchildren oneday. 
Todays work has beautiful beginnings and is well worth the effort as it promises to develop into a books of great value in years to come.
