ANYONE who fancies a spot of bird watching can take their family along to RHS Garden Rosemoor in Great Torrington, Devon this February half term for a fascinating 'Birds in the Garden' week.

February is a perfect time for seeing birds in the garden. They are more easily spotted without the leaves on the trees, and at Rosemoor there is a huge selection of resident and visiting birds frequenting the many bird feeders at the gardens.

A spokesperson for Rosemoor said: 'Buzzards, ravens, chaffinches and song thrushes, as well as tawny owls, barn owls, little egrets and goldfinches have all been spotted at Rosemoor, and you may also be lucky enough to see some of the birds occupying the 108 nest boxes situated around the garden.'

 Throughout half term week, between February 19 and 27, there will be lots of interesting birdie-themed activities to take part in, including Bird I-Spy, bird counts, nest and bird box making and accumulating in a falconry display on February 26.

The winter sculpture exhibition is also still on show at the gardens, until February 27.
