Greater Manchester's most common garden birds - and why they need you this weekend
During lockdown they were a source of joy and solace. Daily they feed our souls in gardens and parks across the region.
Climate change, and this year, sadly, avian flu is having a major impact on the bird population. It is therefore vital that accurate information is collected about the population of our bird species. The RSPB organised event is the biggest wildlife survey in the world and provides a snapshot of how garden birds are faring. Last year 11 million were counted.
This year’s event takes place on 27, 28 and 29 January 2023. People in Greater Manchester are asked to spend just one hour watching and recording the birds in their garden, balcony or local park, then send their results to the RSPB. “With birds now facing so many challenges due to the nature and climate emergency, every count matters. Join us for Big Garden Birdwatch 2023 and together let’s take action to protect and preserve our birds and wildlife for generations to come.”
Beccy added, “Whatever you see - one blackbird, 20 sparrows or no birds at all - it all counts. It helps us build that vital overall picture of how our garden birds are faring from one year to the next. With so much challenging our birds now, it’s more important than ever to submit your results. Our garden birds are counting on you."
