Families are being invited to take part in this weekend s RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch.
Thousands of people across Scotland will celebrate their love of nature and unite to watch and count the country’s garden birds this weekend for the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch.
Over the past year, we’ve seen how important the natural world is to our mental health and wellbeing.
There has been a surge in interest in the nature on our doorsteps and many people have come to rely on garden birds to bring joy and comfort in these unsettling times.
Some of our most common and popular garden birds, including the robin, have declined dramatically in numbers since the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch began back in 1979. (Photo: Andy Hay rspb-images.com)
