Big Garden Birdwatch: 24th - 26th January 2025
BIG GARDEN BIRDWATCH (UK)
This event was started by the RSPB. Its aims are to develop a greater appreciation of the birds around us and encourage people to note down the birds that visit them in their garden or school setting.
More information about the Big Schools’ Birdwatch can be found HERE and Big Garden Birdwatch HERE.
On this page we have compiled all of the resources from our website (‘Little Owls-Premium’) which you may find useful when engaging your EARLY YEARS children in learning about garden birds and wildlife.
*We have decided to focus on the most iconic and distinct looking birds you may see in a UK Garden in order to encourage young children to look closely at clear similarities and differences between a handful of birds, rather than confuse them with too many.
If you are not a member already, become a ‘Free Access’ member here. This will give you access to resources within the ‘Free Sample Resources’ sections at the top of most pages and ‘Special Dates Calendars’. Some whole topics are even free! Find out more about all of our membership options here. If you are already a member… thank-you! x
Please note that both Editable (docx file) and non-editable (pdf file) versions are available for the following resources. (Editable files require Microsoft Word to work at optimum level and Non-Editable files require a pdf viewer.)
