Wenvoe Wildlife Group<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n IT\u2019S THE RSPB AND WENVOE WILDLIFE GROUP\u2019S<\/span> The Big Garden Birdwatch, run by the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds), takes place again this year across the whole of the UK from 26th to 28th January. <\/strong><\/p>\n We would like people who took part last year to take part again and ask new people to get involved too. We want you to share your findings with the RSPB and the Wenvoe Wildlife Group. This enables us to compare last year\u2019s findings with this year and helps us identify which birds are doing well in the parish and which are not. (A summary of last years finding below)<\/p>\n Anecdotal evidence suggests that the numbers of house sparrows locally are declining quite quickly and blackbirds are not such a common sight possibly due to a virus. The Birdwatch will help us to find out more! Will the blue tit be the most seen bird again in 2026?<\/p>\n It\u2019s easy and fun to take part \u2013 you simply watch the birds in your garden for one hour and record what you see. It is a great activity that you can do either on your own or with family members, including children. Don\u2019t worry if your bird knowledge is limited as the RSPB has guides on their website to show you the different species.<\/p>\n All you do is count the birds you see in your garden for one hour over the Birdwatch weekend. It doesn\u2019t matter what time of day you do your Birdwatch, but you will see more birds if you do it first thing in the morning. Count the highest number of each species you see at any one time. <\/strong>For example, if you saw four Starlings together and then two Starlings later your final count will be four (not six). If you see one robin 6 times you only count one robin. If you see few birds or none at all, that’s also really useful information for RSPB and the Wenvoe Wildlife Group.<\/p>\n Send your findings to the RSPB by filling in their simple form online. Also please send\/give your results to the Wenvoe Wildlife Group via any of the following:<\/p>\n nigelrbillingham@yahoo.co.uk<\/p>\n bruce7@btinternet.com<\/p>\n Post or message Facebook-Wenvoe Wildlife.<\/p>\n Use \u2018Contacts\u2019 on our website-http:\/\/<\/p>\n wenvoewildlifegroup,weebly.com\/<\/p>\n Please include your postcode. This helps us log where the different species of birds are within the parish. The results will be published in Wenvoe What\u2019s On as soon as possible.
