The Big Garden Birdwatch is organized each year and normally asks people to spend an hour recording the birds they see in their garden, local park or other space and then send their results to the RSPB. Ed from the Libraries and Culture team recommends borrowing books from your local library to help you identify the different species of bird that may appear. Books on the subject are available from Britwell Library and the Curve through the click & collect service. The citizen science taking place helps conservationists understand what birds are doing well and what species are in decline. This years event runs from the 29th – 31st January why not take part?
Please note that Cippenham and Langley libraries are now closed until further notice due to the escalating Covid-19 pandemic.
