You can count birds from a balcony or even your local park. Which <strong>common garden birds<\/strong> will you see?<\/p>\n<p>Participants are asked to spend an hour <strong>counting the birds<\/strong> they see and then submit their results online. Also, it&#8217;s good idea is to add a <strong>bird feeder<\/strong> to your garden. Watch how a wide variety of different types of birds will pop in your garden for a snack!<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the data collected from the Big Garden Birdwatch helps the RSPB to understand how <strong>bird populations<\/strong>\u00a0change over time. It can also help to inform conservation efforts, as the data can be used to identify areas where birds are struggling and need extra help.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n            <div class=\"dowtk-blog-image\">\n                \n                \n                    <picture class=\"attraction-cta__image\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1700680786-1260x708.jpg\" alt=\"Robin on a tree branch\" class=\"lazyload\" \/> \n                    <\/picture>\n                            <\/div>\n\n            [vc_column_text]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We hope you have lots of fun with your family being part of this free, nature activity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Are you looking for more inspiration for outdoor family fun?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Then, how about heading to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk\/hub\/things-to-do\/national-trust-near-me\">National Trust<\/a> near you?
