Photos from the Big Schools' Birdwatch at Widecombe Primary School today, which the children carried out with help from myself and Andy Bailey from Yarner Wood NNR.  We saw Sparrowhawk, Raven, Bullfinch and Buzzard as well as more common species, and heard the first singing Chaffinches of the year, who were tricked into thinking it was spring by the warm sunny spells (in between rain and hail).  The children had a great time and came away full of enthusiasm.  A special mention for the 4 and 5 year-olds of Webburn class, who showed fantastic concentration, observation and listening skills, and were rewarded with good views of a Buzzard being mobbed by Crows.  Well done all!
