This weekend sees the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch. This first started in 1979 and is a brilliant piece of “citizen science”. If you can, make the time this weekend to visit the RSPB website and take part, as a family, in the Birdwatch.

Over the last couple of weeks we have looked at three birds with long tails that are generally black and white. They are:

  • the Magpie
  • the Pied Wagtail
  • the Long Tailed Tit

These three birds are similar in some ways but very different in others. Can you see what they are?

Magpie
Pied Wagtail
Long Tailed Tit

You can find out more about these birds on the RSPB Birds A-Z webpages
