Garden BirdWatch. What, why and how to get involved. An illustrated talk by the British Trust for Ornithology.

After over 30 years, Garden BirdWatch has helped to monitor the population and distribution changes of some of our most familiar species, as well as contributing to some of the research looking into why these changes have occurred.
Join Susan Jones from the BTO Garden BirdWatch team to learn more about some of these scientific outputs, and how you can get involved.
Doors open at 7:00pm, talk starts at 7:30pm.
