Bird of the Day - Blackbird

5 children from Class 6 joined me for birdwatching club this week. The first thing we noticed was that our goldfinch feeder was half empty and the new seed feeder was completely empty!  So the birds have definitely been visiting and enjoying our food. During a quick walk around the school grounds we spotted:

4 blackbirds rummaging in leaves on the ground
1 robin singing
30 pigeons overhead

The children did very well at spotting the different colours on the male blackbird and chose him as the best Bird of the Day!

Can you spot his bright orange beak and circle round his eye?

Until next time

Mrs Longmoor

PS we will be thinking about feeding the birds this friday and have a very exciting announcement to make, keep checking the blog for more details
