Bird of the Week - Long-Tailed Tit

Joining me for birdwatching this week were Ellie, Elly, Nella and Paula from Year 2. In the wildlife garden we spotted:
Crow
Pigeons
Great Tit
and the bird of the week - Long-Tailed Tit. I spotted a pair of these in the trees outside Class 1. They are a lovely little bird with a pink tummy, black and white face and ....you guessed it... a long tail!

We also practised using binoculars for spotting birds in the tops of trees:

Finally, I wanted to tell you that the results of the RSPB School Birdwatch are in! Here are the girls proudly showing off the certificate we received for taking part:

You can check out the results for yourselves at http://www.rspb.org.uk/schoolswatch/ - the winner was.....the Blackbird!  Closely followed by woodpigeons, starlings, blue tits, sparrows, crows and magpies. The wildlife garden is looking really lovely now with daffodils, bees and butterflies to spot as well as birds - so go and have a look one lunchtime and let me know what you find! Bye for now, Mrs. Longmoor
