Big Birdwatch 2022

Years 5, 6 and 7 walked through the monastery this morning to do a spot of birdwatching for the RSPB’s annual Big Birdwatch. They saw and heard different species of birds and recorded their results for the Eco-Committee to collate and send in to the RSPB. Well done boys and girls.
