RSPB Lochwinnoch is taking part in the Big Garden Bird Watch 2018 on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th January.

This is a national wide bird survey to help to identify which species of birds are doing well in numbers, those that aren’t and how we can help them.

Walk with our Ranger Team to the hotspots to identify and count the bird species that live here on the estate.

You can also collect the RSPB identification charts from Visitor Centre throughout the day for a self-led walk.

Hannah Sharratt, Warden, RSPB Lochwinnoch, said: "The Big Garden Birdwatch is a brilliant citizen science project, and has given the RSPB loads of data about our garden birds for the last 39 years. Over half a million people counted the birds in their garden or local green space last year and in 2018 we’re hoping for even more! Going along to an organised event can give you the knowledge and confidence to identify the birds you might see before you go home, put your feet up and count your own garden birds!"
