We’re gearing up for the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch on 23-25 January.

The Big Garden Birdwatch is the world’s largest garden wildlife survey. Every year, hundreds of thousands of nature lovers take part, helping to build a picture of how garden birds are faring

How to take part:

- Come along to the Commons Cafe to take part in a collaborative bird count at any of three specified scientific hours, engaging with nature in the Minories’ beautiful garden from the comfort of our warm café. Sketch the birds you see, or create your own feathered friend from imagination (drop in, no booing required).

-   Organise your own count at home or in a nearby park: just choose an hour anytime between 23 and 25 January, and upload your results to the RSPB website.
