Just seen that there are only seven days to go before the RSPB Big Garden birdwatch. Anyone got involved with these?

Yes

We do it every year and look forward to it. I've just put up a Fat Block feeder, a Peanut Globe and a Niger feeder in addition to my other feeders, to get them all here for next weekend

Yes, do it every year but as Jacksparroew remarked that's the hour all the usual birds stay away in droves

You can monitor them over several different 'hours' and just send them the best result - it's not cheating! just don't add them all up !!!!!!!!

I've done mine too. A reasonable turnout of the usual suspects plus two Redpolls
