As part of our Eco Schools biodiversity targets, the whole school participated in this year’s RSPB Big School Birdwatch on Friday.
Armed with our bird spotter guides, we conducted our survey at three sites. We took a walk to the woods at the church and continued up to Dunskey woods, and spent some time in our school grounds. On our way past, we noticed that Tilly’s Grandparents garden was a big hit with the local sparrows visiting their feeders.
We applied our maths skills to the task by taking tallies of each type of bird spotted. We then submitted our results online and produced a graphical representation of our findings. Not surprising for our location, crows and gulls were the most common birds we saw.
