RSPB Big Schools' Birdwatch.

Today the Eco Reps took part in The Big Schools' Birdwatch organised by the RSPB. We were joined by Mrs Greenhalge who brought her wealth of knowledge about birds!

First we visited the school field and saw lots of magpie's and some crows. We then visited the Nature Area and used our spotter sheets to tick off all the birds we found. Some of us were lucky enough to see a robin perched on the fence but most of the birds were a lot larger. At one point we saw 6 magpie's fly and rest in the trees and a very large wood pigeon! The smaller birds were harder to spot as they darted about but we think we saw a blue tit and a sparrow!

We collated our results and sent them to the RSPB so they can have a bigger picture about what birds are flourishing in our environment and what birds might be in decline. We discussed this being very important so we can change our environment to support and encourage birds that might be in decline.

We will be awarded with our certificates in assembly and have our bird feeder making session to look forward to on 19th January.
