The survey is very simple. All you need to do is watch your garden or local park for an hour on either Saturday 26 or Sunday 27 January, note down the birds you see and tell us the highest number of each species you see at any one time in the hour.  It’s important you don’t count all the birds that you see in total because some birds will return to your garden many times in the hour... Seeing the same Blue Tit come back 10 times does not make 10 blue tits!     Print   Your Counting sheet for Top 20 birds

 

Winter is one if the best times to record garden birds because cold weather drives large numbers to look for food and shelter in gardens.
