Take part in the Big Birdwatch at Castle Bromwich

CASTLE Bromwich Hall Gardens will be holding an event to mark the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch tomorrow (Sunday).

Every January, the leading wildlife charity asks people to spend an hour counting how many species they can see. 

The nationwide survey - in which thousands take part every year - allows the RSPB to build up a comprehensive picture of bird populations around the country, as well as giving scientists an idea of which species are seeing an increase in number and which appear to be in decline.

The Birdwatch will coincide with the Gardens' Snowdrop Saunter, a chance to visit the site and spy one of the earliest flowers of the year. Hot chocolate will be served in the 18th century greenhouse and there will also be family crafts to enjoy.

The event will run from 11am-3pm. For more about the event and full details of admission charges visit the website.
