GET ready for the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 2025 this weekend.
Children and families in Dumfries and Galloway are urged to take part in the survey and see how many birds they can spot in their garden, or local park.
It takes place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and takes just an hour of counting.
Last year over 40,000 people in Scotland took part and they counted more than 80,000 birds of nearly 50 species.
Anne McCall is the organiser and said: “It’s fun, it’s free and it’s for everyone. You don’t need a garden to take part so whether you’re wrapping up to join pals in your local park or cosying up to do your birdwatch from your living room window, we can’t think of a better way to spend an hour than relaxing with birds and nature whilst helping our precious yet fragile wildlife.”
