‘Tell us what slithers, tweets, forages and snuffles in your garden this summer.
Get involved in the UK’s largest garden wildlife survey and help us find out how wildlife is doing this summer. We’d like you to record the birds you see in one hour (on one day between 2-10 June), and let us know what other creatures visit your garden. You’ll be joining thousands of other people as you step up for nature, helping us build up a picture of how summer wildlife is faring.’
