I've been remiss and failed to notice that the annual RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch was happening this weekend, though it got plenty of mentions in the news today. The light is fading on Saturday but if you can find an hour on Sunday then settle down and watch the birds for an hour.

Full details at the RSPB's website, complete with downloadable recording sheet. The mild weather might mean there are fewer than usual in the garden, as the birds are happily surviving in the countryside without needing our feeders.
