This annual national event takes place on the weekend of 30th/31st January as people all over the British Isles take part in observing and recording nature for one hour. The RSPB collate the results to provide a snapshot of UK nature.

We will be logging the birds at both hides in the Reserve on Sunday 31st January between 10 and 11am. There will be at least one birdwatching CVCG member on hand at each hide to help with identification, so do come along at 9.45am for a quick run through on how the survey works – you might be surprised at what you see!

You can find out more about this year’s event on the RSPB website.
