This weekend...

is  The RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch.

I've enjoyed doing this the past few years, although I've not actually seen many birds, or any of real interest. Perhaps I'll even get to see one, or more, of these which we sometimes hear but very rarely see !

This year I shall be doing it from the allotment site on Sunday morning. Thankfully the weather forecast is looking reasonable for here in London.

If you enjoy getting out in the countryside then have a look at  When to Watch Wildlife.  I think that it's an excellent site full of useful information for any time of the year.

Have a good weekend !

I did mine this morning in glorious weather. I saw the usual types and numbers plus two jays.

Yes - it was glorious here too. We celebrated by taking a flask of tea on the beach, and a wicked but very tasty bacon butty for breakfast!

I never seem to see the occasional visitors during my allotted hour: nuthatch, spotted woodpecker etc. Still, that's the whole point of statistics, isn't it?

That sounds like a good way to enjoy it!
It seems like a lot of people see less common birds before or after, I certainly have in past years.
