RSPB’s big garden birdwatch 26-27 January
The world’s biggest bird survey is back again. In 2007, over
400,000 people took part by counting the birds in their garden for an
hour. Together they spotted 6 million birds. Over the past three
decades participants have made a significant contribution to monitoring
garden bird numbers and helped highlight that some garden birds are in
need of help.
