Big Garden Birdwatch weekend

This weekend, January 26 and 27, sees the return of the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch, and the recent snow and ice could mean bumper numbers of garden birds are spotted.

Last year, over 53,000 Scots took part in the annual survey, each spending one hour recording the birds that visit their gardens or local parks. RSPB Scotland uses the results to form a picture of garden bird populations across the country, highlighting any worrying trends or concerning changes.
