Don't forget...

This weekend is The RSPB Great Garden Birdwatch so get out into your gardens and count birds!

For more information on how to join in go to the RSPB website.

Pesky, cunning birds all over the country are already practising their hiding skills. Usually our bird feeder is well visited except every time you try and make a list - they evidently don't like lists! We have taken part in the Birdwatch for the last 7 years or so, but which ever hour we choose  it is always the one that is completely devoid of birds. 

So, here is some advice from a veteran bird counter -  put out lots of food (start now and keep it topped up all weekend), and don't start timing your hour until you see your first bird, then at least you can enter something on your list!!!

Oh, and have tea and cake whilst you do it - obviously!

Happy bird spotting/counting.

Thanks to my other half for the Robin shot.
