Discover the birds on your doorstep at RSPB Bowling Green Marsh

Get up close to nature and learn all there is to know about garden birds this January in preparation for the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch. Whether you’re kick starting the new year with a brand-new interest or just looking to brush up on your birdwatching, we’ve got the event for you.

Get ready for your Big Garden Birdwatch at our FREE Make a Bird Feederevent, in the Lookout Garden at RSPB Bowling Green Marsh on Sunday 22 January. Drop in anytime between 10:00am-1:00pm to get crafty, then take home and hang your feeder in your garden to attract your local birds before the big count on the 27-29 January.

Learn to tell your blackbirds from your blue tits and your house sparrows from your starlings. A fun, family event designed to arm you with knowledge on attracting birds to your outdoor space and identifying them. Refreshments available to purchase. Donations welcome.
