BCA does RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch

In Category: Events

Sunday 28th January 2024 8am- 9:30am

This year we are asking for help with the RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch. Between 8:15am and 9:15am on Sunday 28th January we will be counting our flying friends who visit our Bird Feeders outside the Cafe. Our Cafe will be open from 8am, serving hot drinks. 

The count will commence at 8:15am and you can count from either inside our cafe or outside in our picnic area. After the event, the results will be collated and the survey returned. 

All we need, is for you to turn up at 8am. We will provide the counting sheets and provide you with the rules. 

“It’s 45 years since the first Big Garden Birdwatch. Last year, over half a million people looked out for birds, making Birdwatch the largest citizen wildlife survey in the UK. Birdwatch is a truly unique collective effort which helps us build the picture of how our much-loved birds are faring.”
