Garden Birds in London, England
The British Trust for Ornithology Watches Birds in London's Gardens
Garden BirdWatch, a survey of garden birds is designed to tell researchers how important London’s private gardens are to birds in the UK.
The British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) wants to know about the birdlife in the gardens of London’s residents. Researchers are gathering data from backyard bird watchers about which birds and how many birds are visiting, whether birds rely on bird feeders for food in winter, whether they go elsewhere in summer, and whether bird populations are changing in the same ways as in other areas.
What’s happening in UK gardens is important because this space represents about double the area of all UK nature reserves combined. The BTO has been collecting data on UK gardens since 1995, but they need more London backyard bird watchers to participate. If you live in London and enjoy watching and feeding the birds in your garden, you can take part in the survey.
