Nature continues to be so important in everyday life, and schools are encouraging children to take time away from the screen and spend time with wildlife to boost wellbeing and mental health. This wonderful hardback book encourages children to find out about birds, to become investigators and to look for clues. It is full of fun facts about a range of birds from garden birds to seabirds, birds of prey to chickens! There is lots of information, including interesting facts about tongues, feathers and eggs with detailed illustrations. Did you know the lump on the tip of a Mallard is called a nail? There are top tips on fledglings and what to do if a bird flies into your classroom, which did happen to me once! Whether this book is used for classwork or individual research it is a fascinating guide to ornithology.
