The RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch event is coming up – weekend, 24th – 26th January 2025. This is the world’s largest garden wildlife survey and helps the RSPB count the number and diversity of bird species across the UK.  It’s open to members and non-members and provides an excellent opportunity for households to engage in citizen science to aid conservation and make a real impact on scientific research. Dirleton School and Heriot-Watt university are setting up a project to collect local data from across the village and assess the welfare of our birdlife. Please have a look at the web page
