Great weekend to get involved in this! Download the app and get down to your local park and spot those birds!

What better way is there to spend the Easter 🐣 🐣🐣 weekend than birdwatching, and hopefully finding and recording rare breeding birds to help their conservation? There’s lots to look for in April, so here’s some ideas from RBBP Secretary @markaeaton.bsky.social #ornithology #UKbirding
Excellent! I’ll be popping out myself! Will hopefully find a willow warbler.
The @btobirds.bsky.social Birds in Greenspaces is now live. Loved working on this wonderful citizen science project to help us learn more about birds in the pockets of green in between our urban environments. Sign up and grab the brand new app here www.bto.org/get-involved...
