In our busy modern lives it can be a real pleasure to spend an hour or two gazing out of the window and becoming totally immersed in the here and now. Why not switch off your mobile phone and turn off the TV to avoid any distractions. Grab a seat and a pair of binocularsĪ cup of tea and some biscuits are great essentials for bird spotting! You may also want to make yourself as comfy as possible for an hour or two of quality indoor bird spotting.
To save some time, why not download our bird spotting survey chart. Our interactive bird guide will give you all the information you need to do this. Using some paper and a pen, write down the various species of garden birds and leave a space next to each so you can tally up the amount you see.
All ingredients are small or have been chopped, to make it suitable for even the smallest of beaks. Our Peckish Complete Seed Mix is a great choice, as it has 12 different ingredients to attract more birds, including Sunflower Hearts, Naked Oats, Safflower Seeds, Kibbled Peanuts. Make sure your feeders are topped up and contain a seed mix with a wide variety of ingredients to attract as many species of bird as possible. See our advice on positioning your feeders. If you already have a bird feeder, you may want to get another one to attract as many birds as possible. Put feeders in a prominent position, well away from predators, but so you can see it clearly from a window. If you set it up the day before the Big Garden Bird Watch, you may be disappointed. Get set up a couple of weeks in advance to allow birds time to learn that food is available. Put a bird feeder up now so birds get used to it You don’t need to be an expert and by monitoring numbers in your own garden, you can help protect them for many years to come. Usually held over the last weekend in January, The RSPB’s Big Birdwatch is a great opportunity for bird lovers off all ages to play an active role in the survival of UK wild birds.
