Once again we have undertaken a mini Merseyside birdwatch
count:- 18 households across Merseyside, Rainford and Newton
sent in their counts, which you can see in the table below.
This year I’m pleased to say most people were happy with their counts
with only a few describing their results and experiences as - disappointing
with favourite birds arriving late. The response from the RSPB to ‘bad’ years
was to extend the count to three days, perhaps it did the trick?

Last year’s results: http://liverpoolrspb.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/big-garden-birdwatch-2017-event.html
For those of you who have enjoyed taking part in the Big Garden
Birdwatch and would like to record more, please consider joining the BTO Garden
BirdWatch , this will involve you recording your birds every week and uploading
them to the BTO website. The count includes other nature sightings such as
insects & mammals and also records the type of food you put out, more
recently they have included your sightings of diseased & dead specimens.
Many thanks to all those who took part in our little survey, I hope you
find it of interest. Please free to add your comments and observations, on
our blog.
