So this is going to be my first BGBW. I just hope (like all of you) that the birds don't suddenly decide to play hide and seek! Our long tailed tits have reappeared after a few months away so I hope they stick around too. I cant wait to take part - I've roped my mum into it too! :-)

Hi Alan, I'm looking forward to taking part. To be fair, my mum loves the birds just as much as I do so she didnt really need much persuading! We've just cleaned all our feeders and been out to top them all up :-)
Hi Sheena, it sounds like fun! We are trying to do housework but keep stopping to watch the birds!
Hi Jo, this will be my first BGBW too! Am really looking forward to it. For the first time I've had Longtailed Tits & a Coal Tit in my garden today :-) soooo exciting!

I think the reason the BGW is so fun because you sit through it desperately hoping your best feathered visitors make an appearance (which notoriously, they dont!) Ive managed to get my mum and my friend at work to take part! :D
Welshlass - we have a family of coal tits resident in my garden, they're so cute arent they! haha

Hi Maggie, I'm glad I'm not the only first timer! Our long tailed tits have come back this week so my fingers are crossed they stay put. We have a few regular coal tits as well, they're lovely aren't they!
Hi Hawky :) I really hope they don't go shy on us next weekend!!
Hello! :) Did you get one of the RSPB packs they send out beforehand?
Yes I registered and got a pack sent through the post :) Everything is all in place - all we need now is some birds!!
I did too.
I think the online survey is better than the written one but each to their own lol
what i do is i make up a grid on word, then write in all the birds ive seen before and then leave space for any newcomers that decide to show up :)
I can try to post the grid if anyone wants it, but i know most people would probably just write it down on paper lol
I'm waiting for my pack which should arrive this week!
Hawky & Jo - yes, they're lovely birds. Was really excited to see them feeding :-)
