Bird Science afternoon

Unfortunately the weather was against us this year, so we had to cancel our RSPB Schools Birdwatch. Instead Kevin Kelly came to explain to us the way that the information is used by the RSPB and the sort of birds that we are likely to see in Shetland.
After that we had an afternoon of finding out about owls. We learnt about how they live and what they eat by looking at a range of owl pellets. We had Short and Long eared owl pellets and Snowy and Barn owl too. It meant that we could compare each species.
We found lots of rats, mice, voles, birds etc in the pellets and lots of bones.
