writes the RSPB are doing a survey of birds found in the gardens this weekend. For those interested in such things there is also the similarly named Garden Birdwatch run by the BTO (British Trust for Ornithology) This is an open ended ongoing weekly survey rather than a one off. http://www.bto.org/gbw/gbwhome.htm -- Chris French and Helen Johnson, Leeds urg Suppliers and References FAQ: http://www.familyfrench.co.uk/garden/urgfaq/index.html |

Results can be submitted on line now although I haven't tried yet, have you? I don't know why the RSPB can't use the BTO figures. I am sure they do it just to get extra donations. If anybody living in the London area is interested, the London Natural History Society produces an annual 'London Bird Report' which covers an area of 20 mile radius from St Paul's cathedral and list all birds that have been seen that year, together with articles etc. The latest edition is for 1999.

I am sure they do it just to get extra donations. Partly maybe, but also it's one off events like this that can help give publicity to the issues around the decline in bird numbers of many species etc. -- Chris French and Helen Johnson, Leeds urg Suppliers and References FAQ: http://www.familyfrench.co.uk/garden/urgfaq/index.html |

The online entry form looks very simple and it looks like you can access your own data to see the picture that builds up for your garden. You can definitely see the survey results by species for your area or any other you're interested in. You can also note mammals, insects, amphibians, etc., that visit your garden if you want to. I now have an excuse for studying the garden every day, "doing important research you know" ! Diane |

Results can be submitted on line now although I haven't tried yet, have you? Like you I've been participating for a number of years. The on-line facility is very good. It's easy to enter data and you enter the actual number of birds recorded rather than within a band (for the common species) or present or not (for the less common species) as on the OMR cards. When you are registered for on-line use you can see all the previous records you have submitted. Bill Watts |
