Youngsters became ornithologists for the day taking on a birdwatching challenge on their school grounds.
Year 2 pupils at St Aubyn’s School in Woodford Green collated data on the different species of birds at their school.
Teacher Miss Chambers said: “Firstly, we walked around the school site, including the duck pond, recording the different species and number of birds we identified. We also used binoculars to observe our nesting boxes. Then we collated our data before submitting our findings on the RSPB website.
The following week pupils made bird feeders out of pinecones and a mixture of lard and bird seeds, in order to support the current avian population.
The feeders were put up within the wooded area of the school grounds by the eager students who are hoping to attract some new birds.
