Join the Big Garden Birdwatch and do Something Great for Nature!

The RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch starts tomorrow and takes place from 25 - 27 January, and the charity is encouraging people across Bedford Borough is to take part.

Taking part simply involves spending an hour in your garden or a local park or green space over the period and recording the birds you see.

You can find more information about the project and why it's so valuable here, where you can also sign up to take part.

Liberal Democrat Cllr for Eastcotts Ward Cllr Sarah Gallagher recommends taking part. She said: "The Big Garden Birdwatch is a brillliant project which allows everyone to do something great for nature. It's really easy to take part, and provides a great reason to take a step back and enjoy the garden or local park.'

"All the information gathered is valuable, and it feels great to be able to do something to help us all understand what is happening with garden wildlife."
