This is an annual event to help identify bird populations across the country. This years RSPB national bird watch weekend is on 26/27th January 2008. All you have to do is select a 1 hour period at sometime over that weekend and observe the numbers and species of birds visiting your garden. An online form will then be available to report your sightings. Over 400,000 people took part last year. If you do not have a garden you can do the suvey at a local park or other recreation area. You can download a tally sheet, with bird identification pictures from the RSPB website shown below. I have added this to the OG Calendar. Have a go and help the RSPB to identify species that may be at risk. We have done this for a few years now and it's quite a lot of fun. What's in your garden?

They are at our house Moh, but we haven't seen any goldfinches this winter. We had allsorts yesterday, even a heron sitting in the tree overlooking next door's lake-----very prehistoric.
