Can you identify any of these hand-painted, enamel birds?

Twenty nine of them, created by Kingston School of Art graduate and Community Brain designer Himali Patil, now decorate the paths and bridges at Tolworth roundabout.

This wayfinding project leads from Tolworth Broadway to Kingston’s largest nature reserve – Tolworth Court Farm Fields – where the birds can be spotted.

However you don’t have to go far afield to see many of them. You can watch them in your back garden or from your balcony – especially if you take part in this year’s Big Garden Birdwatch this weekend.

Just spend an hour today (Sunday) counting the birds you see and you will help the RSPB gather valuable data on birdlife across the country – and it’s great fun for all the family.

“In my lifetime, through this survey, we’ve recorded distinct changes in bird populations and distributions and that’s really important,” said naturalist and RSPB vice president Chris Packham. “We need to understand these things if we are to look after these species.

“I think we live in an age when a lot of people care about wildlife and the environment, but caring is no longer enough. We need to actually take some action to make a difference.

“The Big Garden Birdwatch is the best way for the UK to put its finger on the health of its birdlife. It gives us an instant snapshot. And due to the vast numbers of people who take part, any inconsistencies in the data are ironed out.”
