Children took part in the Big Schools’ Birdwatch during Spring Term 1. This is an important annual national survey which helps keep track of changes of bird populations over time. We have been taking part in this survey since 2011!

During a one-hour period, they recorded the birds they saw in the school grounds. They counted the maximum number of birds, of each species, seen at any one time. We then submitted our results on the Big Schools’ Birdwatch website. 

Over 3 sessions, the children counted at total of 124 birds and 19 different species. The most common species were Rooks (who nest in the school grounds), Woodpigeons and Bullfinch.
