Happy New Year!
It’s the time for resolutions, so if you haven’t signed up already, why not resolve to take part in the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch? It could become the wildlife highlight of your year. There’s still time to register before the big weekend (28-30 January).
Remember, it’s free to take part and really easy. Simply:
Register for Big Garden Birdwatch using our online form
Get to know your garden birds
Sit back, relax and watch your local birds for an hour between 28-30 January
Now’s a fantastic time to get to know your garden birds. It’s a bit of a favour to future you, as then you’ll have time to enjoy their antics without having to identify them ‘on the fly’. Visit our website for loads of advice: www.rspb.org.uk/birds-to-spot.
The best way to ensure you have the best Birdwatch ever is to start putting food out for your garden visitors now. That way, the birds will have plenty of time to learn that yours is the place to come to for a tasty snack. Last year’s top four birds were the house sparrow, blue tit, blackbird and starling.
Do you know what foods they like to eat? Visit www.rspb.org.uk/feedthebirds to find out. Remember that it’s really important to keep your feeders and birdbaths clean, to help garden birds stay healthy – you’ll find lots of useful advice at www.rspb.org.uk/keep-your-bird-table-healthy.
As an extra treat on the weekend, you can also take part in Birdwatch LIVE through YouTube or on our social media channels. We’d also love you to share your Big Garden Birdwatch hints, top tips and sightings using #BigGardenBirdWatch.
As a charity, it’s the support from people like you that makes a difference to birds and other wildlife. If you enjoy taking part in Big Garden Birdwatch, please remember to make a donation.
But above all, enjoy your Birdwatch! What will you see?
