Big Schools Birdwatch


Over the last 2 weeks, The International Community School has been carrying out the Big Schools Birdwatch in the wildlife garden. They saw 4 blue tits, 3 great tits, 2 jays, 3 carrion crows, 2 wood pigeons and 2 blackbirds.

These results go into the large pool of data that the RSPB has collected over the last 2 weeks not only from schools carrying out the birdwatch in their schoolgrounds or local park, but from the hundreds of thousands of people across the country who send in results from their gardens.

The Big Garden Birdwatch and Big Schools Birdwatch have now collected over 25 years worth of data, identifying trends such as the decline in house sparrow numbers in London.

hi

Ive just come across this blog. I visit regents park at least once a week (often more) in my lunch breaks from Uni (UCL). Ive been keeping a blog on the heronry. Is the wildlife garden open to the public?
