The RSPB in the West Country says people can now register for their 2017 Big Garden Birdwatch, which takes place from January 28 to 30.

Morwenna Alldis, spokesperson for the RSPB South West said: ‘People can now register online to take part at rspb.org.uk/birdwatch. 

‘We hope that more than half a million people sign-up to count their feathered friends and the other garden wildlife, which rely on us to give them a home.’
