How to take part
Taking part in the Big Garden Birdwatch is pretty simple.
Firstly choose a one-hour slot between the 26 and 28 of January.
Then you want to make sure you are only recording the birds on your patch.
From there simply record the number of birds you see of each species during that one-hour period.
You can then record your results online at this link, or by post.
Easy!
