Big Garden Birdwatch this Weekend

This weekend join the Big Garden Birdwatch to see if our garden birds are flying high

Spending an hour watching the birds in your garden this weekend will help provide the RSPB with an annual snapshot of our garden birds as more than half a million people take part in Big Garden Birdwatch across the UK.

Taking part in the world’s largest garden wildlife survey is easy – simply spend an hour counting the birds that visit your garden and submit your results online (www.rspb.org.uk/birdwatch).

Some resident birds such as greenfinches, chaffinches, blue tits, great tits and long-tailed tits should be showing in good numbers after a positive breeding season and favourable winter weather conditions.

The RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch is set to bring more than half a million people together this weekend (27, 28 & 29 January) as people uncover what is happening in their garden, helping to create an annual snapshot of how birds are doing across the UK. 

It gives people of all ages the chance to count the number of birds that visit their garden to help the RSPB build up a picture of how our feathered friends are faring at this time of year.

To take part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 2018, simply spend an hour over the weekend watching the birds in your garden, outdoor space or local park. Once you have recorded the birds that make a visit, whether they are starlings, sparrows or skylarks, submit your results online at www.rspb.org.uk/birdwatch.
