Bird Watch
Posted by Kate Sullivan
The cold snap last month made me realise the importance of feeding our wild birds. We melted lard, adding handfuls of nutritious seeds and nuts and now feed them constantly throughout the day - making sure the greedy pigeons don't consume more than their fair share.
Watching the different birds arriving to our city garden is a joy, so much so that I plan on spending an hour at the weekend noting down which birds fly in and out of our patch as part of the annual RSPB survey. This study has been running for over 30 years and is vital in highlighting the habits and population of birds in the UK.
If you'd like to take part visit http://www.rspb.org.uk/birdwatch. The survey runs from 30th -31st January 2010.
And here's a member of artist Emily Sutton's handmade flock (unfortunately all sold out). Emily's currently working on a fabric for St. Jude's - sign up for our e-mail newsletter for details.
