Be a Nature Hound

    Look out of your window, or if you’re out in the open on a walk from your door take note of the characteristics of the birds that you see, maybe even jot it down in a notebook (colour, size, what its beak looked like, and the colour of its legs) use the RSPB’s Bird Identifier to find out what you may have spotted. Try it again with your eyes closed. See if you can match what you hear with common British bird songs. For plants you can use wildflowerfinder which filters plants by the colour and shape of the flower, size and number of petals, as well as stem and leaf shape. Trees for Cities have a template so you can play Nature Bingo (good for early years) and the Woodland Trust’s tree identification guide will help children to gain an understanding of common species.
