Thank you to all budding nature photographers who sent us their bird pictures. Well done for being patient and watchful, waiting for that perfect shot!
This is my photo of a baby dunnock, which we rescued from a cat in our woods. It was only a few days old. It became very tame because my sister looked after it so well, and we were able to get lots of great photos.
The first photograph is of our friendly robin in our garden. We always feed it live mealworms, so after putting some worms on a tree stump I waited nearby and took this photograph as it looked down at them from a nearby branch.
My second photograph is of a yellow wagtail that regularly visits our stretch of the River Otter. I sat patiently and waited for it to come and took this photograph of it on a rock in the river near to where I was sitting.

I took this picture of an Egyptian goose and it’s ducklings in my local park. I spotted them on a walk and took the picture on my mum’s phone.

I took this picture in Sheffield Park, next to the beautiful lake on 18th July.
The mummy duck was trying to protect the baby ducklings from the hot sun by sitting in the shade. The ducklings looked fluffy and cute. They were huddling together trying to sleep. I took this picture by getting very close to them slowly, and kneeling down quietly trying not to disturb their peaceful rest.
We were on a famous walk in Brittany where there are lots of pink rocks. While I was climbing on some rocks I saw a Herring Gull perched on one of them. I had been taking pictures of lots of birds, so I took a picture of this one and I was surprised how close I got!

This competition asked you to design a secret egg hidden somewhere in nature, and your entries went far beyond the obvious nests and burrows. Eggs arrived disguised as pine cones, floating on leaf boats, perched on volcano ledges, tucked into cloud cover and even masquerading as chocolate Easter eggs to fool foxes. Thank you to every reader who took up the challenge and thought like a parent bird, fish, reptile or imaginary creature trying to keep their precious egg safe.
We were swept away by the response to this competition. Letters arrived from rivers across the world – the Thames, the Mississippi and many more unnamed waterways – each one brimming with personality, passion and a genuine love of the natural world. You gave your rivers voices that were worried, hop...
Somewhere beneath a grassy field right now, a tiny insect is building an underground loudspeaker. Male mole crickets engineer horn-shaped burrows that amplify their calls hundreds of metres into the night air – and your child can recreate the same science at home using nothing but cardboard and a phone. This hands-on experiment explores sound, shape and natural engineering in a way that is genuinely surprising. No screens, no special equipment, just a brilliant idea borrowed from nature.
