CHILDREN can help count birds this school holiday.

The British Trust for Ornithology is giving away a free garden bird identification poster, which is full of facts about Worcestershire's most common garden birds.

The trust wants to help get children interested in wild birds, and feels the poster can help both adults and children count and recognise the number of different species.

For a free poster contact 01842 750050 or write to the GBW, Room 54, The Nunnery, Thetford, Norfolk, IP24 2PU, with your address details.
