British Garden Birds is dedicated to
helping garden birdwatchers to identify and enjoy the birds that visit
their gardens, and to understand the birds' lives and behaviour.
In February,
Chaffinches,
Great Tits and
Nuthatches are among those claiming their
territories and pairing up. Grey Herons
return to their nesting colonies. Long-tailed tit flocks are breaking up and starting to look for
nesting sites.
The dawn chorus is starting which
makes this a good time to start learning songs before all the summer
visitors arrive. There are some
bird song tutorials to
help you learn some of the common bird songs.
