Bird watching

We moved into our house a year ago now and have watched the seasonal birds come and go during the year. It has been amazing! I thought bird watching would be a great activity to do together so we firstly made our binoculars by painting

Then threading,

Then we where ready to go!

We spotted plenty of birds..plovers,willy wag tails,minors, grass parrots, magpies, and a few more we had to get daddy to name for us (daddy knows everything animal related!). I had downloaded a bird watching chart which i had planned to do but as with most things whatever we start out doing turns into something else and instead we observed the dam water and spoke about floating and sinking objects

We tested feathers,sticks,leaves, and grass. It was a gorgeous day and its moments like these that i feel blessed to enjoy with my daughter :)
