Got the HU from the RSPB earlier in the week...

We'll be there... ... although we are a bit beyond the kids phase...

I wonder how much practical, useful information the Garden Birdwatch actually provides. More of a public relations activity on behalf of the RSPB, I'd say....

I think not. If you read their paper you'll see that they use the info to monitor general trends in populations throughout the country and then are are able to target resources appropriately.

But if it is only pr,what a great way to spend an hour and if only one more person/child becomes interested in the birds survival it will have been worth it.

Quite agree on the second point....
