Bird populations are a great indicator of the health of the countryside. That’s why it’s so important to take part in surveys like the Big Garden Birdwatch to keep an eye on the ups and downs of the wildlife where we live.  The Friends of Blythe Hill Fields are taking part in their own great bird watch, but if you would like to take part by counting birds in your own garden, it is easy to register.  You can also find more information about last years BGW here.
