If you’re thinking about what kind of food to put out, there are tips here on what birds eat and some very helpful pointers on different ways to feed birds.

This is where you can print your own colour garden bird ID chart and participation form and here’s our information on how to attract birds to your garden.

Maybe you’ll get to see something new or unexpected during your hour of counting this weekend! We're wishing everyone the best of luck and an enjoyable time bird spotting. Thankyou to everyone who takes part in this valuable garden bird research event and submits their results.


The Flatford Wildlife Garden is now closed for the rest of the winter season. Details of re-opening in Spring 2021 will be posted on this blog and the Flatford Wildlife Garden We­­­bsite.
