Big Garden Bird Count, Normandy version!
Posté : 27 janv. 2010, 14:35
Hello,
have you seen that the GONm is organising a Big Garden Bird Count, the same weekend as the RSPB in the UK? This is the seventh year! It's this weekend, the 30th or 31st January 2010. Jsut count the birds in your garden or your local park or public space (grounds of the château for example) but NOT during a country walk. Do not count birds that fly over, but don't miss the sparrow hawk that hunts the greenfinches on your bird table. Make sure that you count the maximum number of each species, if you see 3 sparrows, then 5, then 8, you only note the 8. DOn't add them up as you go along. I have some records of 55 blue tits, obviously coming and going, but not really a ikely total of individuals.
If you haven't got the form that was in the Petit Cormoran, download one from:
http://www.gonm.org/telechargements/doc_download-131
and send it either by internet or by post if you prefer. SImple! I hope you will take part, and give me lots of work entering a record number of records this year!
Good counting,
Robin Rundle
