Activity

Go birdwatching

Spread your wings into the wonderful world of birds and get spotting. Which birds do you share your neighbourhood with?

A child lay on their back in a meadow, looking at the sky with binoculars.

This Experiencing Nature activity can be completed as part of Families Wild Challenge.

Estimated time: 1-2 hours Season: All year Skill level: Easy

Instructions

Decide whether to do your birdwatch from a window or head out into your garden or a local green space such as a park or beach

You might even be able to pop down to your local RSPB reserve. You'll find different birds in different places but no matter where you go, please make sure you have permission to be there and that the spot you choose is safe.

Two adults and a child stood behind a glass door looking out into the garden, one of the adults and the child look through pairs of binoculars.

Be still and quiet

As exciting as it is to watch a Blackbird bouncing around searching for worms, get a better look if you're really quiet – and you might even hear them sing or call too.
