Distance Learning: Spot the bird challenge

LI: To gain knowledge about the birds in my lawn


The above DLO shows the pictures of different types of birds in my lawn clicked by me. This is a fun task of Distance Learning. Being a bird-lover, I know all the names of the birds and how to attract them. The birds in the collage are pigeon, myna, blackbird, welcome swallow, sparrow, songthrush, paradise shellduck and black-billed gull. I had kept some grains on the floor and waited for the birds to come. The fun part was that when I tried to click their picture they all flew back to the tree. A new thing I came to know was that the black-billed gull was a migrant bird which means it travels in different countries in a particular season of the year. I came to learn about the features of the birds and loved to complete my challenge.

  1. Hello Sakshi!

    Welcome to PBS School. The is a cool DLO about birds. I liked how you names all the birds you found. The bird photo I liked the most was the birds eating their food"Yum"

    Next time maybe you should write some facts about birds.

    Amazing Work Sakshi!

  3. Hi Sakshi

    What a fabulous DLO! You have captured some great photos of the birds. I'm pleased I know you like birds and now know you will love some of the reading texts I have planned for this term. It's a clever idea to put grain down to attract the birds. Not too far from our school is a wildlife habitat called Tahuna Torea. It is home to a lot of birds including the Godwit. See what you can find out about the migration of the Godwit. It really is an interesting journey.

  5. You are officially a "twitcher" Sakshi...that's what bird watchers are called, did you know that? We have the occasional Tui in our garden and quite a few noisy Myna birds but our two cats keep most at bay from our bird table.

    1. I never knew a bird watcher is called a twitcher. It was something new for me. Thanks for sharing the information it was very useful. I would love to gain more information from you Mr. Collins. Thank you for your comment.

    2. Differences between a birder and a twitcher? The birder is a passive birdwatcher who takes their time when birdwatching and enjoys whatever bird comes their way, while the twitcher is more active in their birdwatching approach, wasting no time, and seeks a specific kind of bird.

    3. Thank you for sharing such useful information with me Ms. Collins. I never knew that twitcher and a bird watcher are two different terms. So, I am a twitcher. I will remember this fact Ms. Colllins
