Garden Birds Survey starts next Monday

The annual Birdwatch Ireland Survey of garden birds starts next Monday 29th November. The idea is to get an accurate estimate of the numbers of garden birds in Ireland by doing a count in your garden and recording the number of each species on a special form for each week until 21st February 2011. The form is then posted to Birdwatch Ireland to become part of the overall national picture.
Forms are available for download from www.birdwatchireland.ie or from Rose Ryan 090 9674176.
As the cold weather gets underway, the birds will appreciate a little bit of birdfeed and a drink of water.
