I'm no survey design expert (which gives me a nicely uncluttered perspective) but I can't see what exact location and time would add. This is a random sample survey as anyone in the UK can pitch in with data and, as such, provides a comfortably hefty sample size when applied to the UK as a whole...

We did the Big Garden Birdwatch last weekend and I'm just getting round to entering my results. However, I have a query about our house sparrow count... Throughout the hour, there was a group of sparrows hiding in the hedge at the bottom of the garden (the hedge is part of our garden). Every so...

Two days before BGBW there were 42 thrushes taking all the berries from one tree in the garden, and several smaller bushes growing against the wall.When the big day arrived there was hardly a berry to be seen anywhere so inevitably no birds, oh well !

Taken in Guiseley during the 2013 Big Garden Bird watch

There were a number of birds in our garden during the Big Garden Birdwatch on the 26th January 2013 and.... one Fox! Who came to eat some of the bread left out for the birds.

Taken during the Big Garden Bird Watch on the 26th January 2013. There were two Robins in the garden this year as well as a number of other birds.

Hi June Once the survey is submitted online then that is that, it cannot be amended, the same applies if you have already posted your survey form. Never mind, the survey has a big enough participation to account for any small errors or ommissions. With regards to deterring squirrels using stuff...

Thanks Cas, looks like a productive hour! Have you submitted these via the online form? If not, click here to get started.

Hi Tom If you want to do two watches then that's great but probably best to only submit one of the results. If you want to submit your other list then you could sign up to Birdtrack , then you can record bird sightings wherever and whenever you make them.

I couldn't include them in my report as they weren't in my garden, but there's been a huge decline in jackdaws here this year. We have a nesting site across the road, usually with about 40 nests by egg laying time. Normally we'd see about 50 to 70 birds around in the evening in late January...

I thought the RSPB would be interested in all the birds that we saw. It seemed strange to be told, the birds that we put in the box at the bottom of the form would not be counted towards the BGBW. If you only count some birds there may be a decline or improvement in the ones that have not been included...

Hi all, I wanted to tell you all how jealous I am of my mum for seeing 15 waxwings in our garden! I told her that the Big Garden Birdwatch was happening this weekend and it would be great if she could take part since I was going to be away. We live in the middle of town and have never seen anything...
