This month...	Did you know?
Although most migrant bird species have arrived by now, the Garden Warblers, Swifts and Spotted Flycatchers are usually the last to arrive. Goldfinches will start nest building this month. Meanwhile, Blackbirds, Song Thrushes and Mistle Thrushes are in full song.	As more and more newly-fledged birds appear in our gardens, it is tempting to want to help these abandoned and helpless looking birds, but the parents are often not too far away. Unless the bird is in danger from cats or cars, or you're certain it is an orphan, leave it alone. More>>
Vote now!	Things to do...
In recent years, Swifts have been arriving earlier than say a decade ago, probably because of climate change. When did you see your first Swifts in the UK this year? Vote now!	International Dawn Chorus Day, 6th May 2012, is a worldwide event that celebrates bird song, but the whole of May is a great time to listen to the chorus. Join in by getting up early and listen to the birds in your garden or go to a local event. More >>
