- RSPB’s Garden Birdwatch – have an hour with nature: bring your own binoculars or borrow ours so you can record what birds you can in the reserve. We’ll be providing bum mats and cups of tea to keep you warm! Your observations will be added to the national as well as our own database so you’ll be contributing to the world’s largest wildlife survey.
