Project Description

The annual Birdwatch Ireland garden bird survey starts again this year on Monday 29th November! Between December and February each year, they ask members of the public to keep note of the highest number of each bird species visiting their garden every week.  They also ask for information on the size of the garden being surveyed, the kinds of food, if any, being offered to the birds, and so on.  Taking part is fun, easy and an ideal way to get to know your garden birds better.

As the Irish countryside changes, gardens are becoming increasingly important havens for many species, and it is vital to know how their populations are faring.
