… I’d be taking part in the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch, and spending an hour counting the birds in my back garden. I’d be looking out for the familiar robins and blackbirds, and perhaps for a chance visit from a house sparrow, a goldfinch or even, these days, a greenfinch.

Spend an hour contributing very useful information and watching the wildlife in your garden this weekend. You can find details on how to take part here.
