Living in
the rural countryside we get to enjoy Mother Nature at her best. We are very lucky where we live that we get
to appreciate the wildlife of the countryside all around us, being able to
enjoy the beauty of the countryside and see all the amazing creatures and
animals that also call this area home.
I love living
in the rural countryside especially as this lovely area has such an array of
wild creatures for Bug to see and learn about.
With wild birds flourishing in the beautiful countryside surroundings of
our home wild birds have become one of Bug’s favourite wild creatures to look
for on our countryside adventures.
As Bug
loves seeing wild birds, enjoying mimicking them as they fly in the sky I want
to teach Bug about the different varieties of birds and encourage his love and
appreciation of our wild winged friends.
When we go on country walks we look out for any wild birds and I tell
Bug about the birds as we observe our wonderful winged friends. We watch birds soar in the sky, admire them flitting
along peacefully, listen to bird sounds and watch small woodland birds dart and
scamper along trees and shrubs.
As well as
teach Bug about birds whilst on country walks I am encouraging his interest in
wild birds by getting him to help me feed the local birds in bird feeders in
our garden. Having bird feeders in our
garden gives Bug an ideal opportunity to see and learn about birds when they
visit our garden to feel. Not only am I teaching
him about the birds that visit our garden to feed, I am also hoping that as he
helps feed birds in our garden he will develop an understanding of how to feed safely
so that we can keep our feathered friends safe when they visit our garden to
feed.
"Everyone
likes birds. What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as
close to us and everyone in the world, as universal as a bird?" - David Attenborough
