It’s that time of year again when we ask as many people as possible to top up their bird feeders and tell us what comes to visit. The Big Garden Birdwatch has been getting bigger and bigger ever since it started in 2001 when 52,000 people took part. Last year a staggering 609,000 people counted the birds in their garden for us generating millions of records. This we want to keep the trend going and get even more people taking part so if you haven’t done it before make it your new years resolution (although possibly a bit late for that now!) to get involved this year. It’s all happening on the 26th and 27th January.
It only takes up an hour of your time and we need you to note the species seen in your garden and highest number seen at any one time. This helps to stop double counting. Your results can be submitted on our website by visiting www.rspb.org.uk/birdwatch and any information you need about how to do the survey can also be found there. Alternatively we have survey forms in the Weymouth Discovery Centre so feel free to pop in to collect one and have a chat to us.
Happy counting!
