Bird of the Day - Starling

Hello again! Birdwatching with me today were from Class 4.
Birds we spotted were:

chaffinches
black headed gull
blackbirds
robin
woodpigeon

and Bird of the Day was the Starling -  two of these flew over us. Starling are well known for gathering together in big flocks and making big swirly patterns in the sky before going to bed - no one knows why they do this - just because it's fun is my guess!

Finally, well done to Jessica for working out that a starling gets its name because it is sparkly like a star:

They may be common but they are a lovely bird! Until next time...

Bird of the Day - Blackbird

I was joined by members from Class 4 for birdwatching today. Birds we spotted were:

woodpigeon
black headed gulls

blue tit

plus the bird of the day was chosen by the children as Blackbird

We saw lots of these birds on fences and rooves on our bird walk. See if you can spot one this week. Bye for now
