Preparations And Counting

It's that time of year again when the teddy bears take part in the Big Garden Birdwatch, along with 700,000 or so other people in the country. Their information pack and counting sheet arrived earlier in the week from the RSPB (that's the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) and the bears have spent a long time looking through it all so that they understood exactly what they had to do.

It said they had to write the highest number of each bird they saw at any one time in the boxes below each bird's picture. So, if they saw 8 starlings together and then they flew away and a bit later 6 more starlings arrived, they 8 would be the final count.

Also that they only needed to spend 1 hour counting, and only include those birds that landed, not those that flew over. Then all they needed to do was to send their results to the RSPB, either by mail using their counting sheet in the provided addressed envelope, or by filling in the screen on the RSPB website.
