A spot of bird watching!

The children were lucky enough to go bird watching with Mick and Gráinne last week in Father Collins Park. We managed to see some very special birds, such as Moorhens and Swans and we even got to see the Swan's signets which was wonderful! We learned all about the different sounds that birds make and how it's so important to look after the places that birds live in so they are in a safe environment. We actually even spotted a turtle in the water which was a very unusual sighting!

They were all very excited and as you might guess from some of their expressions, I think we may already have some children in our class who would love to learn this instrument! 😁
