If you want some of the headline info from last year's survey, see article below. A more detailed summary was published last week in the BirdWatch Ireland members magazine 'Wings'. https://www.birdguides.com/news/record-breaking-numbers-take-part-in-irish-garden-bird-survey/

Also, as the coordinator of the survey, I'll be giving a talk about feeding your garden birds, how to take part in the survey, and some of the interesting results and trends over the years. The talk is online on Wednesday evening at 7pm and you can register by clicking here.

I'm doing this for the first time this year, I spend my life looking out the window at my birds so reckoned I may as well make myself useful!

Amazing that there are people who have taken part for 20 years!

I've done it every year but the site won't open for me at all.

Will do it again this year. So far what I have really noticed is a complete drop off for Greenfinches. Anyone else seeing this?

Rest of the species are normal I would say.
