About this word search

The RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch takes place each year at the end of January, and many of the birds on this list are the ones people count from their kitchen windows: Robin, Blackbird, Blue tit, Magpie and Sparrow.

Some of the others are harder to see. The Kingfisher is usually just a flash of blue low over a river, and the Stork is rare in Britain, though it is being reintroduced in the south of England.

Words go across, down or diagonally in a fourteen by fourteen grid, and all of them read forwards. Woodpecker and Kingfisher are long and easy to anchor. Owl and Crow are short.
