Instructions
- Pick a time
You can choose any hour between 29 and 31 January. So whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, you can still take part. - Tell us what you see
Count the birds you see in your garden or from your balcony*. Ignore any birds that are still in flight. To avoid double-counting, just record the highest number of each bird species you see at any one time – not a running total. *This year our advice is to take part in the safety of your own home. This could include a birdwatch from your window if you overlook a green space or courtyard. - Submit your results
Online: You can submit your results online at rspb.org.uk/birdwatch from 29 January until 19 February.
By post: If you’d rather send your results by post, you can download a submission form below. Please post your results to us before 15 February.
Every count is important so, if you don’t see anything, please still submit your result. Finding out which birds don’t visit your area is as important as understanding those which do!

Info for Parents on developing speech sounds
Please find below an EXCELLENT powerpoint presentation designed to help parents with developing their child’s speech sounds.
We know that this is a really important development area for children and can be tricky to know what to do if your child is having speech sound difficulties.
You will need to download the powerpoint to be able to hear the clips. Viewing the powerpoint is not enough and will not let you access the ‘voice over ‘ sections. All children from P3-7 can access Microsoft Office for free by downloading it through GLOW.
