1. Discover the birds near you

With the breeding season coming to an end for many birds, there are plenty of young (and older) birds to get to know. Find out some useful tips.

2. Get out into nature

Visit your local park, wood, lake or maybe an RSPB nature reserve to experience nature through all of your senses. Find an RSPB nature reserve.

3. Listen to the sounds of summer

From Robins singing their tinkling song to grasshoppers chirping, there are plenty of wild sounds of summer to listen for. Get to grips with birdsong.

4. Become a nature detective

You don’t have to see an animal to know it’s around. Look out for other tell-tale signs, such as fur, feathers and footprints. Find out how to make a sand footprint trap.

5. Help birds to stay cool

Birds have a number of ways to keep cool in the heat, from hiding away to panting and taking a bath. Find out how you can help them.
