Poem

Here is another poem I made up I hope you all like it

Morning

I know it is morning when I hear the birds sing.
I know it is morning when life starts to spring.
I know it is morning when I see the big bright sun.
I love the morning when a new day has begun.

Big Garden Birdwatch

My Mum and I did the big garden birdwatch the last weekend of January. We had a very cold winter in the Highlands, with temperatures in our garden somtimes at -15 so we had a lot of garden birds looking for food.

There were parts of the highlands that were as cold as the North pole.

You had to record the highest amount of any type of bird at any time during the hour that you recorded. We chose 11am.

Our results were

Chaffinch 78
Greenfinch 7
Goldfinch 4
Coal Tit 6
Great Tit 7
Blue Tit 5
Robin 7
Dunnock 5
Blackbird 17
Siskin 5
Reed Bunting 3
Song Thrush 1
Pigeon 3
Treecreeper 2


We had lots of baby blackbirds last spring, that is why we had 17 at the same time.

We normally have lots of chaffinches in the garden. We had over 100 on that weekend. But sadly it was not in the hour that we had chosen.

I have included some of the photos that we have taken of the birds in our garden. We love the hair on the Coal Tit, he looks like a punk. The 2 chaffinches were dancing in the air. Both Treecreepers were looking for our home made fat balls. The blue tit looked so cute on our seed feeder and the Robin landed on a branch outside our living room. Hope you like them.

Lego House

Here is a lego house that we made out of a big box of lego that we found in my brothers room. So my brother, my dad and I designed it and then started making it. Here are some pics of the finished result.

I like the garage and family car, the garden with a greenhouse, wishing well and water feature. We built a windmill , so our house could use renewable energy. can you notice the lego person on the toilet, to the left of the 2 people in the living room. I also really liked the cooker hood that my dad made.

My Poem

Here is one of my poems I wrote, I hope you like it.

Rain.

Rain is lovely.
It tip toes on my roof.
Rain is like magic falling from the sky.
The magic is all around just open your eyes.

Big Garden Birdwatch

This weekend we will be doing the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch but it will be too late to put our results in, so I will post them next time, with some of my bird pictures

Pine Martens

Pine Martens are one of the rarest mammals in britain. We are really lucky to have 6 different Pine Martens that visit our garden. We put out dried fruit and different varieties of nuts for them.

At the bottom of my blog I have put some of the photos that we have taken of these beautiful animals. I hope that you like them.

The Nutcracker

This week I went with our home ed group to see the ballet The Nutcracker. I went with my mum and my big sister. First we had a talk about it. This was good as it helped me to understand what was happening but it was a bit long for me.

We had a break for lunch then the ballet. It lasted about 2 hours with a 25 min interval to change the scenery. My favourite bit was the waltz of the flowers. Their costumes were very very pretty especially the poppies. The orchestra was really good too.
