The Big Garden Bird Watch

blue tits in our magnolia tree January 2009

It's time to prepare for the Big Garden Birdwatch again.  The RSPB would be very pleased if you could spare an hour next Saturday (29th) or Sunday (30th) to count the birds in your garden.  It's a good way to find out just what is happening to our garden birds.

To increase your chances of finding out which feathered friends are living in your neighbourhood you could put out plenty of birdfood and top up water dishes to encourage them to pay your garden a visit.

Apparently early morning is a good time, but any time will do.

You can find out more about how to take part here.
