Bird of the Day - Black-Headed Gull

Well, it was a bit of a disappointing day for birds today - it has been too windy lately and birds don't like wind!  My little twitchers were from Class 4 and we saw only woodpigeons and black-headed gulls. The children decided that the gulls should be bird of the day.

This is a gull in the winter - they get their black head in spring and summer. If you look across the field to Wilsthorpe School you will see lots of these gulls.

This weekend is the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch. You need to count the birds in your garden for 1 hour. I will put my list onto the blog next week so if you do a garden birdwatch - you can post your results too! Keep 'em peeled.....Mrs Longmoor
