Big Garden Birdwatch

Here is a link to the results of the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch 2024, the latest in the Society’s 45 year-long experiment in citizen science. Please click the link and read their post – if we don’t recognise the magnitude of the problems we face, we might not have the resolve the tackle them.

The Garden Birdwatch concerns itself with the most frequently seen species; here are some of the rare Red Listed birds that are resident in, or passing through, the reserve: spotted flycatcher, mistle thrush, greenfinch, skylark and common swift

Birdwatch

It’s Big Garden Birdwatch weekend! Sign up, join in and get counting.

The RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch, has been taking place over the last weekend in January every year since 1979. This is important citizen science: the RSPB uses the information we collect to monitor our native bird populations. Each year, as global warming takes hold and our climate changes, planning for the future of our wildlife becomes more urgent.

Below is a link that will take you to live-feed cameras watching bird feeders across the UK.
