  1. This is a superb initiative! I love it and more so because of the fact that it is little children who have started this! Do try and take pictures so that you can post on the blog. Best wishes and regards, Tallulah

  3. Wonderful ! It's very exciting to know that a group of children of BITS Goa campus have come together to explore the nature to enrich their knowledge in an imaginative way. Hope many such groups come up with innovative ideas for using the spare time gainfully (and not wasting it trivially), encouragingly supported by the parents with their active involvement. Congratulations children, and also their guide. Do keep it up. Waiting to read more in this blog, backed by activities. All the Best.

  6. What a great and refreshing initiative this is in a world that is rapidly losing its connection to nature. I hope many little boys and girls will get inspired to start similar activities. Will keep checking your blog to learn more about birds and all your exciting activities. Do add lots of photographs and sketches. You should make sketching part of your weekly activity because this really helps improve your observation of nature. Our Best Wishes to all of you in the club.
