Gather the group and ask them to get into pairs.
The robin is one of the few British birds that sings almost all year round, which makes it an ideal first voice to learn.
Sit quietly at your sit spot and watch the birds around you.
Spend some time out and about getting familiar with common bird behaviours, such as feeding on the ground or in trees, feeding in flight, stealing food, chasing off rivals, singing from a perch or in
Walk normally and calmly to your sit spot, keeping your eyes focused ahead as usual.
As you spend time outside, listen for the baseline sounds of an area, the calm everyday chatter of birds, and notice when this changes into an alarm.
Imagine you are a male or female bird of prey.
Explain to the group that birds have five main voices, song, companion calls, juvenile begging, male to male aggression, and alarm, and that other animals listen to these calls too.
Pair up with another person and agree on a signal to show when the activity has ended.
Divide the group into smaller groups of five to eight.
