RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 2025

Ryde Social Heritage Group invite you to join us for the annual RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch at Ryde Cemetery on Saturday 25 January 2025. The centre will be open from 10am till 2pm.

If you would like to participate in this event, please come along to the Ryde Cemetery Heritage Resource Centre where we will have all the materials you will need for an hour’s bird watching in Ryde Cemetery. There will also be reference books available to help you identify any birds you are unsure of.

Warming drinks of Tea and Coffee, will be available during the time we are open.

This is an RSPB event and all the information will be collated and sent to the RSPB to help with their national survey.

We look forward to seeing you.
