J6 joined in the RSPB Big Schools' Birdwatch survey. They went up to the Old Rectory, with binoculars in hand. The children were delighted at the huge numers of birds they saw in such a short time feeding at the Old Rectory bird table.

These are their results (for the most of each species spotted together at any one time)

Blackbird  2, Blue tit 14, Chaffinch 2, House sparrow 2, Robin 3, Coal tit 4, Marsh tit 1, Great tit 2, Long-tailed tit 8,  Pied wagtail 1, Goldfinch 1, Nuthatch 1, Bullfinch 1.
