This is a reminder about the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch, a simple survey happening next weekend (26-27 January 2013) where you count the birds of each type in your garden during one hour. It’s become the world’s largest wildlife survey over the past 30 years and the results are very valuable to scientists. For more information see this link. You can also obtain a free pack of hints and tips by registering with the RSPB, and download pictures of birds to help you identify them.
Meanwhile the local jackdaws are perching each on one leg either side of the peanut feeder to get at the food.. no wonder I am running out of peanuts! And the horses are eating my hedge.
