Did you spy many birds for @RSPB #BigGardenBirdWatch? Send your results: https://t.co/ubqCnKTVQl. Here's more Archibald Thorburn paintings from our collection. Not only was he an amazing artist, he was also Vice President of the #RSPB and designed their 1st Christmas card in 1899
After yesterday’s bother-boy bouncer of a mallard, I obviously felt more ethereal this morning. Rain stopped play in the #BigGardenBirdWatch yesterday - well, it didn’t even begin, so that’s what I’m up to this morning. Hope you all have a lovely day.
Four garden birds who I am happy to say visit my garden fairly regularly 😍
It's been a bit rainy today for the #biggardenbirdwatch with the @rspb_love_nature I hope to take part tomorrow...
I’ve just taken part in the #rspb’s #BigGardenBirdWatch. Very disappointing this year, we only had one collared dove and two wood pigeons visiting us in my chosen hour.

I get a great deal of pleasure watching the birds in our garden, even if they're not as exotic as some get to see. I occasionally find time to draw them... #BigGardenBirdWatch
The first episode of the @getbirdingpod is coming out tomorrow!! It’s all about making birding fun and simple, and I had a great time chatting to @ChrisGPackham this week about #BigGardenBirdWatch and #selfisolatingbirdclub
Taking part in @Natures_Voice #biggardenbirdwatch Join me in a sketchalong, get comfy, count your birds and draw what you see, post and tag with #BGBWsketchalong. Great way of getting to know them better, engage kids and keep a visual record. #winterwatch #drawingmatters
The #BigGardenBirdWatch starts this week so we have been doing a spot of twitching on our bookshelves for #RareBookOfTheWeek. What about these beautiful specimens from the 'Feathered Tribe of the British Islands' (1834)?
The @Natures_Voice #biggardenbirdwatch is upon us this weekend. For the last few years I've run a sketchalong. Get comfy, count your birds and have a go at sketching them, tag with #BGBWsketchalong. It's a great way to get to know them better. #winterwatch #selfisolationbirdclub
We're back with more ID tiles, this time to help you identify the differences between the house sparrow & tree sparrow! Save these somewhere to use on the weekend of #BigGardenBirdWatch - until then, brush up on your bird identifying knowledge here; https://t.co/ZJIopKMOI9
Drawing tips for #DrawABirdDay. Blue tit, one of colourful garden visitors. I made these to promote @Natures_Voice #biggardenbirdwatch #bluetit #drawingmatters #drawapictureofabirdday
Finches are full of character & an array of colour. Their bills have adapted to the type of food they eat, from long fine beaks that can extract seeds to chunky powerful seed crushing beaks. You may see some visiting your feeder:

Don’t forget the #RSPB #BigGardenBirdWatch this weekend! We’ve spotted some rather splendid specimens in an illustrated volume by the 18th century naturalist Pierre Joseph Buchoz.
Nearly time. How will you #biggardenbirdwatch? . I'll be doing it in watercolour if you fancy joining me, tag your sketches with #BGBWsketchalong. A relaxing hour, watching, counting and sketching. #citizenscience #wildlifegarden #wilderfuture #wildlifefriendly
Who else is doing the @rspb_love_nature #biggardenbirdwatch next weekend?
I love watching our greater spotted woodpecker. This lovely bird arrives early every morning to feast on peanuts, and I still get excited every time I see it.

Join me on 25-27th Jan for an hour counting and sketching your garden birds for the #biggardenbirdwatch. #BGBWsketchalong Today's bird is the #woodpigeon, a regular garden visitor often heard asking for 'more tea please Betty'. #sketchingtolearn
Blue Tit in todays countdown to @Natures_Voice #BigGardenBirdWatch and #BGBWsketchalong Putting up feeders is great to supplement our garden birds. But you can also help by not using weedkiller, or slug pellets and planting trees and plants that attract natural food.
