Lovell Homes North West signs up to support the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch 2019

Lovell Homes has signed up to support this year’s RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch. Taking place from 26 – 28 January, Lovell developments and its staff across the North West have pledged to participate in the world’s largest garden wildlife survey.

Over half a million people now regularly take part in the annual survey which enables the RSPB to monitor trends and help them create a snapshot of bird numbers across the UK. And while some changes in bird numbers can seem scary – the UK has lost more than half its house sparrows and some three-quarters of its starlings -  since the RSPB’s Birdwatch began blue tit numbers have risen by 20% and the woodpigeon population has increased by a whopping 800%.

During the weekend, those taking part in the survey are tasked with watching the birds in their garden or local park for an hour and recording the number of different species they see. Results can then be submitted online or by post. To sign up to the survey visit www.rspb.org.uk.

Anne-Marie O’Doherty, regional sales director Lovell North West said: “At Lovell we carefully consider the environmental impact of every new development. This is achieved through set procedures and policies which endeavour to mitigate the impact on wildlife habitats and ecology; encouraging wildlife and biodiversity growth wherever possible.
