Bird Spotting

We started working on what information we would need to design a bird brochure to show visitors who came to the school just how spoilt we are with our bird life at TBS. We worked in the tent and recorded all the different bird species we spotted and were treated by watching the 2 baby blue herons high up in the tree. Indy was able to see the mum fly back to feed her very noisy babies.

During that session we spotted the following:

  1. Blue heron
  2. Southern black backed Gull
  3. Welcome swallow
  4. Chaffinch
  5. Magpie
  6. Australian Marsh Harrier
  7. Tui 
  8. Fantail 
  9. Starling
  10. Blackbird
  11. Heard a grey Warbler singing but couldn't see it
  12. Heard a Shining Cuckoo call but couldn't see it ( trying to teach them to also identify by song )
  13. Goldfinch

How spoilt are we to have all these just by sitting on the school field for a few hours.
