Hello everyone.

 I have recently noticed that there are lots of birds in my garden.           I wonder how many you can either see or hear in your garden or if   you are out on a walk.                                                                                             Here are some that I have spotted in my garden:

If you find any birds that you do not recognise why not have a look on the RSPB website.

https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/wildlife-guides/identify-a-bird/

Or to identify the bird songs:

Why not try making some binoculars to help you spot them.

You will need:
2 toilet roll tubes or similar cardboard tubes,                                              Sticky tape,                                                                                                                  Scissors,                                                                                                                                Piece of string, wool or ribbon,                                                                            Stickers, pens or anything you have at home to decorate.

Use the sticky tape to join the two tubes together.Carefully make two small holes using the scissors                                       (It might be a good idea to get an adult to help with this).

Carefully thread the string through the holes and tie or stick              on the inside of the tube.

Decorate however you fancy.Now you have your binoculars to help you look out for birds.

Happy Bird Spotting!
