If
you're after something entertaining, educational and above all cheap
to keep the family occupied, birdwatching could be the answer.
With
a well-positioned bird table or feeder, you can bring the birds
to your window to give you hours of fun and free entertainment.
Not
only is the Big Garden Birdwatch jolly good fun, it also helps the
RSPB keep tabs on our local birdwatch and find out which species
is on the up, and which is at risk every year.

| Cock
Robin's been busy this year - no wonder he looks so chirpy! |
Take
the humble Robin for instance. Their distinctive red breasts and
cheeky personality make them one of Britain's favourite birds. Last
year's Big Garden Birdwatch discovered that the Robin is going strong
with over 4.5m pairs of Robins breeding in the UK.
That
puts the Robin in at number 10 in Britain's top ten birds, which
is released by the RSPB at the end of every Birdwatch.
This
year's Big Garden Birdwatch has just finished for 2003, and the
results will be out soon.
