Our Theme this week is Birds in the Garden! Here’s our challenge for you:
- Start by being part of RSPB #Breakfastbirdwatch
- You can join weekdays 8am-9am just follow RSPB on Twitter – listen and record birds in your garden.
- Share your findings with RSPB and Redbridge Libraries. Don’t worry if you don’t record anything just tell us about #Breakfastbirdwatch experience.
After listening to the birds you may want to try and identify them. You may not be an expert on identifying birds so we would like to introduce you to PressReader.
PressReader offers free access to newspapers and magazines using apps on smartphones, tablets or through your browser on PC or laptop. All you need is your Library card and your Pin number ready to access PressReader. Not yet registered with Redbridge Libraries? Don’t worry sign up here.
The challenge is to go to our website and find a Bird Magazine in PressReader. Find one that you think will help you to better understand the wildlife in your garden.
Check out how to use PressReader via video clip on Youtube.
