Every year, as part of our Eco Schools work on Biodiversity, St. Albert’s Primary takes part in the Big Schools Birdwatch. This is a great activity to do as it provides ornithologists and scientists with valuable data from all over the country about how native species of birds and other creatures are surviving the winter and climate change.

This year due to most of our pupils being at home due to lockdown, we did things differently and we took part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch instead. The staff, pupils, parents and Mrs Harker, our Head teacher all joined in between the 29th and 31st Jan 2021 to watch the birds for an hour and make a note of the numbers of each type of bird they saw. They submitted their results to the RSPB online and sent some photos which you can see below, of them taking part and what birds they saw. If you are interested, you can check out the results of this year’s Birdwatch on the RSPB website to find out which birds are doing okay and which ones might need more support to help them to survive.
