This will be my 4th year taking part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch. Identify and count the number of wild birds visiting your garden for just 1 hour during 25th – 26th January (pick a day that suits you), it’s so easy to do and gives you an hour of relaxation. What if I don’t have a garden? Don’t worry, you can still take part by doing the count in your local park or green space.
Register to take part before the event and apply for your free bird identification chart to help you with your count. Visit https://www.rspb.org.uk/birdwatch/home
I always look forward to doing it. I usually end up seeing less birds than usual but did see a male blackcap one year. xx

It’s that time of year again! The RSPB garden bird survey takes place on 25th-26th January. Last year more than half a million people took part, providing important data on how our garden birds are doing.
We’ll be doing it I’m sure, thanks for the reminder.
I’m taking part for the first time this year.. don’t know why I haven’t done it before!
In my diary now thanks.Usually the birds get shy though and don’t turn up! Malc
Yes, we do it too. Last year we got remarkably lucky, because on the day and only on that one day, in that one hour, a flock of waxwings descended into our garden and stripped the cotoneaster of all its berries. We didn’t see them again, but I was able to include them, 25 I think it was. Thanks for reminding me.
Never done it before… I’ll start this year don’t really know my birds though?
We’ve done it for the last few years running. Looking forward to it again this year. :)
