When we humans travel long distances, we usually make stops at comfy hotels to enjoy a hot bath, a freshly cooked dinner, and a good book or TV programme. What if migratory birds could enjoy a luxurious stop during their long trans-Saharan flights?
In our April The Sahara Desertissue, we asked you to design a spectacular bird hotel for migratory birds. Take a look at some of your amazing entries.
We received so many fantastic entries to our Time-Travelling Animal Adventure competition – thank you to everyone who took part! We loved seeing your creative ideas, colourful drawings and exciting stories. From racing dinosaurs to rescuing baby pterodactyls, your time-travel tales truly brought the past to life.
Building a little water feature is one of the best things you can do to help wildlife in the summer heat!
Every year, as autumn arrives in the Northern Hemisphere, millions of birds across Europe get ready to migrate. To beat the chilly winter and nippy winds, birds will fly thousands of miles to warmer climes. Swallows, yellow wagtails, ospreys and many others stock up on large amounts of food to get ready for their long-haul flight to Africa!
Wildlife needs three basic things – food, water and a home. Just like us! But some of our wildlife is in trouble and it needs our help.
Thank you so much to everyone who entered our Autumn Nature Art competition. We loved seeing how you explored the outdoors, collected natural materials and turned them into thoughtful, creative artworks inspired by autumn.
