Thanks SM. My garden is still pretty wrecked and i'm not really getting any visitors at the moment, so looks like I will have to pass on this one.

I'm registered, but my numbres for visitors, and species are going to be down this year. My feeders are not as busy as last year. I'm hoping thats because its been so mild that the Birds have'nt needed as much food, an d some of the species have not come to the feeders because they have been able to survive on their natural food

Pity WS.

I Agree Lai, ours are busy too. When a bird cake goes out it lasts just 2 days affraid
Boy are they well fed.

I Agree SM - the suet shreds go in a flash, our family of woodpeckers can't get enough of them!

Sadly as I said my feeder is not up as the garden is wrecked but for those that are doing it, are you going to try and get some pictures as well or just concentrate on counting the number of birds and different species?

Shocked Littlewid - counting the birds is tough enough, unless you can video for an hour and then count them afterwards. I would love to take some photos but find the whole thing pretty hectic anyway Laughing

Perhaps some photos after the hour is over lol!

Great result Lai. Just printed my sheet off, going to do mine tomorrow, as the window I check from is blocked off at the moment with Harry the Cockateal's cage who we are looking after for freinds he's going home on the morning so Ill do mine then
