      Hello 🙂
      Birds are so great to watch, they have so many colours, behaviours and personalities.
      In my garden my favourite birds are Robins, Wrens and Nuthatches – they are cute and really amazing to watch. Robins are clever, have great personalities and are very curious little birds. Meanwhile Nuthatches hang upside down on the tree to eat (great to watch) and wrens are very tiny, so a fun challenge to try and spot them.
      Outside the UK, I really like kingfishers. They have these amazing bright colours and its so cool to see them catch fish!. I also love to hear a kookaburra, they have really funny laughs.
      I would really recommend just watching the birds out of your window or in the park for at least 10 minutes. Plus you can get some great bird guides free from the RSPB website that can help you see what birds you have seen. Listening as well as watching is also good because all the birds sing very different songs.
      Top tip: Save up your pocket money for some binoculars. You can take them everywhere!
