Garden Bird Watching

Garden Bird Watching

Have you ever stopped to look at the birds that may visit your garden?  Do you have a bird feeding station in your garden?

Spring is a great time to spot birds as they start to visit your garden more and more. Whether it's looking for a mate or a new food source for hungry chicks back at the nest, Spring is a busy time for birds.

Why not take some time to carry out and enjoy a garden bird survey?  Get a comfy chair & sit so that you can see out into the garden.  Identify the birds using the images below. Check off and count the number of any of the species below which you see in your garden over the next hour:
