After its successful Big Garden Bird Watch event at the start of the year, the RSPB is, this week, asking people from across the area to take part in its summer survey, Make Your Nature Count, which begins on Saturday, June 2.

Not only is the RSPB asking people across the county to record birds, it also wants to know about some of the other wildlife visiting gardens, like hedgehogs, squirrels, deer and for the first time ever, slow-worms.

Make Your Nature Count, is the UK’s largest summer wildlife survey and takes just an hour to complete.

To take part, simply record what slithers, tweets, forages and snuffles about in your garden or green space.

Last year saw thousands of people from across Sussex taking part.

Samantha Stokes of the RSPB South East said: “Gardens are teeming with wildlife at this time of year so it’s the perfect time to sit back and enjoy an hour of wildlife watching.”
