Stop 2: Survival of the Fittest!
What do all living things need to survive? As we explore the trail today, see if you could all become detectives trying to spot the many ways Stranmillis is helping nature survive through all the stages of their lifecycles. You could note down or take photos of evidence of these different ways.
Activity
A time to take all the suggestions from the children to gauge previous learning
(Water, air, different food for different stages of their life cycles, a safe home away from predators to sleep (roost) and raise their young).
What do birds need for their survival? Again allow time for all suggestions.
What food is this thrush feeding its young chick? (A black coloured berry from an ivy tree.)
In which season do you think this picture was taken? (Late summer perhaps or early autumn when the last broods of chicks are fledging (learning to fly and become independent) and the berry fruits have fully ripened on trees and bushes.
