The RSPB invites you to take part in the Big Garden Birdwatch at the end of January – it’s such an easy family friendly project that everyone can get involved in. They would ask you to watch the birds in your garden for an hour over the weekend of the 29-30 January, and then to tell them what you see. They would be happy to send you a survey form, or you can take part online.

They are also looking for a group of participants who wouldn’t mind being filmed while taking part in the Big Garden Birdwatch for TV. If this is something that you would like to be involved in, please call Louise, the RSPB’s Media Officer, on 0131 317 4136.
