Hungry Birds

On Monday night we visited the Urdd group at Botwnnog to hold a number of activities based around birds. The group learnt which single factor defines birds from all other animals, found out about some of the birds that migrate thousands of miles to and from Llŷn and learnt about the rare choughs which reside here.

To help some of the garden birds during the winter months the group created bird feeders out of re-cycled plastic bottles and wooden spoons. All these feeders should help provide the birds with food this winter which is a time when it can be scarce.

The children also created bird masks out of paper plates. A vast array of colourful masks were created, including woodpeckers, blue tits and seagulls!
