Bird of the Day - 2 Robins

First day back at school today and our feeders were all empty! I filled them up again but it looked like the birds had forgotten about us at Birdwathcing Club at playtime when we saw only 1 wood pigeon and a pair of collared doves. By lunchtime however, the birds were back! We spotted:

1 coal tit

1 dunnock

1 great tit

1 wood pigeon

and bird of the day - 2 robins



 Robins don't normally get along and can be very territorial so we were lucky to see two in our garden.

The children were very keen to know today how many birds I have seen ever and how I know so much about birds. Well the answer is I have seen over 200 different types of bird so far (and still counting!) and I found out about birds from reading books and going on the internet, but mostly just from taking time to look for birds in my garden and at the park and to learn what they were. That is why birdwatching is such a great hobby and you never stop learning new things about birds!

Until next time
