The RSPB is the UK charity working to secure a healthy environment for birds and other wildlife. The RSPB currently have over a million members, including over 170,000 youth members and a staff of over 1,300 people and over 13,000 volunteers. They look after the 130,000 hectares in their 200 reserves which are home to 80% of the rarest or most threatened bird species in the UK.

On the weekend of the 26-27 January 2008, the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch takes place. It’s the world’s biggest bird survey and the RSPB’s biggest event of the year! Last year over 400,000 people took part by counting the birds in their garden for an hour. It’s really simple to do so you don’t have to be an expert and it gives the RSPB a vital snapshot of the UK’s birds each winter.

Over a period of just one hour, participants are asked to record the highest number of each bird species seen in their garden (not flying over) at any one time. Then all you do is note them on the counting sheet provided and send it in.

The RSPB scientists can then use the information and patterns in bird numbers to help prioritise their bird conservation work.

To find out how to take part visit the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch website. You’ll find lots of information including a free downloadable counting sheet so you can take part in the count as well images of the top 15 birds you might see to help you identify the feathered visitors to your garden.
