bug hunting and stuff..
This weekend we made a bug hotel. I drew some plans. Then we searched the garden for things that bugs might like to make a home in; broken terracotta pots, logs, bamboo, straw and leaves. I built up layers of different things. Daddy cut some bamboo, and I put them in a pot.
This is my bug hotel.
I also joined the buglife, which is a conservation trust, they sent me some lovely posters.
We have been getting ready to take part in the RSPB’s birdwatch in two weeks time. We have filled our new bird feeders and have been helping Daddy build a bird table. We are very excited and have our spotters sheets ready. For more information, go to the RSPB site here
Update:
We had great fun taking part in the big garden birdwatch today. Isaac and i set up a camera in the garden and using a remote control were able to take photo’s from inside.
The lady next door threw out some bread for the birds just as we started. We spotted lots of Herring gull, Rooks, Carrion Crows and Jackdaws. Once they had flown away some smaller birds came to the feeders. Lots of house sparrows and a starling.
Typically there was no sign of the dunnock, robin, blackbirds, songthrush, redwing, great tit, chaffinch, goldfinch or green woodpecker that we have seen over the last fortnight!
What birds can you spot in your garden?
