How many of you took part in the Big Garden Birdwatch over the weekend? Please share your observations with us!

Last week my Forest school groups enjoyed learning about different birds and identifying them by their appearance and bird calls. Whilst sitting out in the school quiet garden, we closed our eyes and could hear up to six different birdsongs and calls at once in the afternoon. We noticed lots of larger birds such as magpies, crows, woodpigeons and common gulls out on our school field.

Now that we know a little more about our feathered friends, why not invite more birds into your garden by hanging out food for them. Here is an example of a bird feeder you can create at home:
