Island takes part in Big Garden Birdwatch

Snapshot of wildlife around British Isles

It's the RSPB's annual Big Garden Birdwatch this weekend and the Isle of Man will be playing its part.

More than half a million people around Britain are expected to take part in the garden wildlife survey over the weekend - making it the biggest of its kind in the world.

Around 500 Manx birdwatchers contributed to the survey last year.

Dora Querido from Manx Birdlife says it's a fascinating snapshot of how well birds around the British Isles are surviving
