Hi all you Big Garden Birdwatchers out there, are you all excited about the weekend, have you stocked up on bird food to entice the local avian population down into your patch? No, well there is still time, get to it!
If you have and you are all set, why not have a quick vote on this little just for fun poll. We are simply asking you which beverage will you mostly be drinking during this years birdwatch? We recommend getting comfortable with a favourite drink and relaxing whilst the birds do all the hard work, all you need to do is count them as they go about their daily routines!
So pick your most likely beverage from the list below and lets see what the nations birdwatch beverage is!

I voted for my favourite Herbal Tea called 'Relax' (www.tealeaves.com) tea with a nice biscuit too. I will probably do mine mid morning as well.
Best wishes Chris

It depends on what hour in the day I do the survey. If it's breakfast time with the birdies, coffee will be the order of the day, but if I leave it until lunch time it might well be a nice glass of wine with the wee ones.

Vodka and birdwatching dont mix unless you want double the numbers of birds that vist my garden lol.
I mild cup of coffee on Sunday morning is all that will pass my lips.

It's coffee for me too! I'm really looking forward to the BGBW :-) didn't think i'd be as excited as I am!! Especially after seeing the Longtailed Tits and the Coal Tit on the feeder last Sunday ooohhhhh can't wait!

I have some hot chocolate with chili that I haven't tried yet, so if it's cold I might give that a go, otherwise it'll be a nice hot coffee and some ginger nuts. It'll probably be mid-morning just after the other half's put the food out, so there should be plenty around. Our reed buntings have reappeared and we had 4 rooks this morning. Hope they all stick around!

Work is for those people that don't Bird-watch!!!!
My drink will be a mug of milky decaf coffee, looking out of the bedroom window.Bins and camera at the ready, and youngest son helping, as he's done in previous years.Actually he'll be the one making my coffee about halfway through the watch.

Hi-
I always drink Milkshake when birding in GB. Coffee can make you tremble when using a scope.
