RSPB big garden survey 2025

I have signed up for this! 24-26 January.
Today, I have been practising, watching a pair of Bullfinches on the fruit trees!
Plus a good number of great tits and small brown birds!
A pigeon has been perched, like Jabba the Hutt, hoping it could reach the feeders. It failed!
No sign of the Nuthatches.

 

Anybody else notice that all the birds go into hiding for the chosen hour? You can have 25 bluetits the day before and the day after, but for the time you choose to count them they all move out.

 

I confidently expect I'll see the traditional half dozen seagulls, two pigeons and in a good year a brace of magpie.

 

No we don't do it anymore as too much personal information seems to be required on line.
