The
RSPB are doing their
birdwatch again this year, it's a really great way of getting involved in wildlife, no matter whether you live in a city terrace or a country mansion.
All you need to do is get a pen and paper, one hour of your time, and then simply count how many birds of each type you see in the garden. The trick is to count only the highest number of birds you see in the Garden at any one time, not each time you see a species.
It starts on the 27th of January and ends on the 19th of February. If you're worried about knowing what's what, use the RSPB's top 20 bird guide to help:
