Many readers will already know about the Big Garden Birdwatch and many will have taken part previously. It is free and easy to take part. Here are the basic things you need to know. If you require more information or need a guide to garden birds go to rspb.org.uk\/birdwatch. It\u2019s a great activity whether you live alone or within a family and you can even do the birdwatch if you are house-bound.<\/p>\n

Pick a time;- <\/strong>You can choose any hour between 29 and 31 January.<\/p>\n Tell RSPB what you see:- <\/strong>Count the birds that land in your garden or park, or on your balcony. Ignore any birds that are still in flight. To avoid double-counting just record the highest number of each bird species you see at any one time \u2013 not a running total. e.g. if you see one starling back and forwards that counts as one. If you see 2 together then that counts as two etc.<\/p>\n Submit your results:- <\/strong>Online: You can submit your results online at rspb.org.uk\/birdwatch from 29 January until 19 February. By post: If you\u2019d rather send your results by post, you can download a submission form. Please post your results to RSPB before 15 February. Every count is important so, if you don\u2019t see anything, please submit your result. Finding out which birds don\u2019t visit your garden or park is as important as understanding those which do.<\/p>\n Have fun!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RSPB BIG GARDEN BIRDWATCH 29-31St January 2021 Many readers will already know about the Big Garden Birdwatch and many will have taken part previously.
