fourfinches Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 This weekend RSPB birdwatch takes place. You need to make a note of any birds in your garden over a one hour period which can then be submitted online. full details here http://www.rspb.org.uk/birdwatch/index.asp We've often seen a great spotted woodpecker in the garden but by watching have realised that in fact we have a pair - perhaps we'll have baby woodpeckers this summer. If you can spare an hour today or tomorrow it's worthwhile. Morag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 We always do this too! Its a lovely thing to do and very easy. It also helps the RSPB out a great deal to see whether bird behaviour and demographics are changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Kate and I complete forms for the British Trust for Ornithology's Garden Bird Watch throughout the year - I've not yet done the RSPB one, I'll see if I can find time tomorrow. We have Lauren and Jake staying overnight so perhaps first thing in the morning. Actually, I haven't told BTO that we've moved yet -and haven't completed any returns since May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Every time I try to download the recording sheet, it causes my computer to freeze, even if I go directly to the RSPB site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
