Last year in Wales almost 30,000 people took part, including over 4500 pupils and teachers in schools, counting almost 500,000 birds between them. The annual wildlife survey provides the RSPB with an important snapshot of garden bird populations in winter and has helped to highlight some dramatic declines in UK garden birds over the last 35 years.
