BIG GARDEN BIRDWATCH
Saturday 24 & Sunday 25 January 2009
|
Up to half a million people are expected to take part in this year’s annual big
Garden Birdwatch, a survey which helps conservationists to understand changing
bird populations. This year’s results will be particularly important as they
will provide a picture of the impacts of rising temperatures and a wet summer
last year. The RSPB says it expects people to see more goldfinches because of
the UK’s milder climate, but less blue tits, which have experienced their
worst-ever breeding season.
The rules are simple – spend an hour on the weekend of the 24-25 January
recording the birds that you see in your garden or local park. Note the highest
number of each species, recording only those that you see at any one time, and
only those that land, not the ones flying over.

NATIONAL STORYTELLING WEEK
Saturday 31 Jan 2009 to Saturday 7 Feb 2009 |
We know that Storytelling stretches from its simplest application in the nursery
right through to personal stories and bereavement aids in hospitals,
strengthening communication in the business sphere, and as an aid to learning in
education. Storytelling is not just for the young but for all ages who share the
creations of thought and the creativity of imagination.
