Last year, more than 519,000 people all over the UK
counted an incredible 8,262,662 birds!
Will you be part of Big Garden Birdwatch 2017?
I've already received my free package and birdwatch form
from the RSPB to complete this year's annual survey
(the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds)
with some free complementary gifts to keep warm during the event,
including a complementary robin teacup holder,
a free wallchart of different British birds and wildlife,
and a free RSPB bird-guide calendar
with advice and tips for birds each month, etc.
British people love cute little European robins
which are voted as the British nation's favourite bird!
Robins are so often associated with winter and Yule season cards;-
even though cute but fiercely territorial robins
can be seen singing in gardens all year round.
(Some people mistake robins with the beautiful sound of nightingales at night
when robins sometimes sing underneath the streetlights
if they're disturbed from their sleep.)
The nation will count the amount of various birds
they see in their garden, local area, or park,
for an hour, to monitor which species of birds
are declining or endangered.
Goldfinch.
(In Winter, large flocks of goldfinches migrate to France and Spain
when the weather gets too cold for them in the UK.
Some goldfinches remain on our island all year round.)
Various birds also migrate to our island during the winter season,
including Scandinavian birds from as far north as Iceland
who find the Icelandic winter too cold for them....
and other birds arrive on our island at various seasons
from as far away as Antartica, Canada and Siberia.
You can learn loads of information about British birds
and birdcare products, foods, habitats, bird identification,
and what you can do to help our national birds at the RSPB
which is dedicated to the preservation of birds.
You can also learn more about British birds
at the BTO (British Trust for Ornithology) site,
and ask questions on the RSPB forum for bird lovers,
or directly send questions via email to the
ornithologists, biologists, and bird experts
who work for the RSPB and BTO,
as well as donating to their charitable causes in helping wildlife and birds,
and attending the RSPB and BTO members
group meet-ups to take part
in bird discussions and bird-watching together.
