The results for the ‘RSPB Big garden bird watch’ 2008 came out a while back and I’ve been meaning to put them on here for a while, so I thought I’d put them up to compliment yesterday’s Britains commonest bird post.

This is the first of a couple of posts on my 'visitors.' If you've be keeping up with my recent posts you will know im stuck inside until I finish my project.
