Garden BirdWatch is a
national year-round project run by the British Trust for Ornithology,
that gathers important information on how different species of birds
use gardens and how this use changes over time. Gardens are an
important habitat for many wild birds, providing a useful refuge for
those affected by changes in the management of our countryside.
Over 16,000 people
take part in Garden BirdWatch (including over 600 in Hampshire) and
send in simple weekly records of the bird species using their gardens.
These can be submitted online. Each participant supports the project
financially through an annual contribution of £12, but in return they
receive the quarterly colour magazine Bird Table, and all new joiners
receive a free
copy of the 128-page BTO/CJ Garden BirdWatch Book
