The RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch returns for the 46th consecutive year next weekend [24-26 January], with hundreds of thousands of people expected to be watching and counting the UK’s garden birds.

The world’s largest garden wildlife survey, which has been taking place since 1979, has since become a much-loved annual event that helps give the RSPB a valuable snapshot of how our garden birds are doing in the UK.

Over that time, 172 million birds have been counted and nearly 11 million hours spent watching garden birds.

    My neighbour cut down one great tree and butchered another that was home to a wild variety of birds here in the city centre where I live. It was such a sad day and because of that all we get now are Pigeons and the occasionally jackdaw.

    I love pigeons but I miss the robins, blackbirds, tits and sparrows that used to be prolific at my feeders :(
