Birdwatch

Who visits your garden? Now is the time to take a moment to sit and watch.

The RSPB are asking us to take part in the Big Garden Birdwatch.

All you need to do is watch your garden or local park for an hour on either Saturday 24 or Sunday 25 January 2009.

The Big Garden Birdwatch is the world’s biggest bird survey, providing the RSPB with a vital snapshot of the UK’s birds each winter. Scientists can then use these patterns in bird numbers to help prioritise their bird conservation work. House sparrows, starlings and song thrushes really need our help – we’re seeing fewer every year. It is alongside our vital help the RSPB now know this so they are looking into what we can all do to help them.

Check out their website for more info and a downloadable recording sheet

I am going to be watching out for Robin and Mr and Mrs Blackbird this weekend who are my regular visitors.

Is this the point where someone makes a joke about having Great tits in your back garden? But that’s just childish isn’t it………….

    I don’t understand your joke, Lis. The weather is so cold lately that bluetits are probably more common?
