Big Schools’ Birdwatch 2016 – The Result!

Big schools birdwatch 2016This year’s RSPB Big School’s Birdwatch was carried during January and February. We have taken part in this national survey for the last eight years. Each class completed one survey with all children having the opportunity to take part. The surveys lasted one hour during which time we counted the maximum number of each species seen together (i.e. not individual visits).

This year we counted 205 birds over 3 surveys and recorded 22 different species.
