It's 30 years since the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) launched the Big Garden Birdwatch. In that time, Britons have clocked up more than three million hours surveying birds in our gardens.

The weather is set to be fairly awful (again/still/typical/whatever) in the UK this weekend ( Jan 30 /31 ) so why not sit by a window in a comfy chair and take part in the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch?
I will be - and then sending in my sightings to help the RSPB ascertain the state of the UK’s garden birds population.
Will I get my first House Sparrow of the year? A Starling, Collared Dove, or Feral Pigeon? The excitement mounts (a bit)…
Charlie works for an airline and has birded all over the world for twenty years. He wants to be a writer, and thinks no-one would believe his life could be so charmed if he didn't take photos of as many of the birds he sees as possible. Blogging with 10,000 Birds fits his aims, needs, and insecurities perfectly. Really - do birders get much more fortunate than this?
