Garden Bird Survey Instructions

On the front of the form, please complete your name and address and the (approximate) dimensions of your garden or other recording area. (Note that there is now no space to indicate whether your garden is rural, urban etc., instead please complete the questionnaire on the instruction sheet).

Please record for each week (Sunday to Saturday) the highest number of birds of each species seen using your garden or other recording area at any one time. For example, if during week 1 you see a maximum of 4 blue tits at any one time, then enter '4' on the form (overleaf) in the blue tit square of week 1's vertical column, and so on for every other species you see using your garden that week. By 'using' we mean activities such as eating, drinking, bathing, roosting, preening, etc. Birds of prey flying through should be recorded, as should birds hawking for insects below roof height. Birds such as gulls, geese or starlings just passing over as they move from roost to feeding site should not be recorded. The 25 birds most commonly recorded are already listed on the record form, but please add any other species you record on the blank rows at the bottom.

If you wish, you can also help with the analysis by completing the last two columns before returning your form at the end of the survey. In the first column, headed 'Max', put the highest number of birds of that species recorded in any week of the survey. For the second column, headed 'Weeks', count up the number of weeks in which you recorded each different species, and enter this number against the name of that species.

Many thanks for your help with this survey! All participants will receive a copy of the survey report. Please send the completed form to your local organiser or to Anne Goodall, 5 Chambers Farm Cottages, Hoop Lane, Apley, Market Rasen LN8 5JR.
