Birds on the Balcony

Birds on the Balcony is all about Birds at Christmas at The Nature Discovery Centre,

Why do so many Christmas cards feature Robins? What kind of Partridge might be sitting in the pear tree, and what is a ‘colly bird’?

Find out why they come so far, which ones you might see or hear where you live, and at the NDC, and how to recognise them.

Find out about these and other festive connections to our feathered friends in a fascinating look at Christmas traditions.
