The Winter Garden Bird Survey 2024 is here! 🪶

As the Irish countryside changes, gardens are becoming increasingly important havens for many birds. The Irish Winter Garden Bird Survey is vital for us to know how their populations are faring 🐦‍⬛

Taking part is simple - there’s no need to register beforehand. Record whichever weeks you’re home by simply noting down the highest number you see of each species, and then you can submit your records online, by email, or post! ✉️

This would also make a great school project 🍏
