RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch

This weekend is the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch, an annual survey of the UK’s garden birds. The survey has alerted the RSPB to declining numbers in some birds; this is one step in improving the environment for wildlife.

It’s really easy to join in! Just choose an hour between 29^th and 31^st January, then count the birds you see in your garden during your chosen hour. You can then submit your results on line or by post.

There are links posted below, giving you all the information you need. We will also send resources home to make taking part in the Birdwatch, including a bird identification sheet and a recording sheet.

Highlights to watch out for are:

• BBC Teach and Winterwatch are teaming up with a Live Lesson (aimed at Key Stage 2) at 11am on Thursday 28^th January
• Recipes (for the birds) and crafts on the RSPB Big Schools’ Birdwatch 2021 website
• Watch the Live Feeder Camera on the RSPB Big Schools’ Birdwatch 2021 website

Happy spotting!
