PEOPLE are being asked to keep their eyes peeled for garden visitors over the next week.

The RSPB is trying to build up a picture of the wildlife visiting London’s gardens at this time of the year, which will help produce a snapshot of how each species is doing.

Between now and Sunday (13th) the charity is asking people to spend an hour in their garden or nearby open space and take part in its as part of its Make Your Nature Count survey.

They are asked to record their sightings of birds, bees, badgers, hedgehogs, squirrels, and any other visitors and the highest number of each species seen at any one time.
