Big Garden Birdwatch

for 2 days, 23 hours, 30 mins
All Saints'
Lower Road, Charlton All Saints, Salisbury, Wilts, SP5 4HQ, United Kingdom

Big Garden Birdwatch is the world’s largest garden wildlife survey. It is run by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Every year, hundreds of thousands of nature lovers take part, helping to build a picture of how garden birds are faring. In 2025, a total of 590,000 people took part - and counted over 9 million birds!

The top 5 species recorded last year were:
* House Sparrow
* Blue Tit
* Wood Pigeon
* Starling
* Blackbird

This year, consider coming to All Saints' Churchyard to do your survey. It will help us see how we are doing at encouraging the birds in the Churchyard, with our all year round sunflower seed feeders under the yew tree.

How to take part
* Download the Guide attached here or from the RSPB website.
* Spend an hour watching the birds in your garden or in the Churchyard, between 23 and 25 January, and record the birds that land.
* Tell the RSPB what you saw (even if that’s nothing at all)! You can submit your results online or by post.

All Saints'

The parish of Charlton All Saints is at the eastern end of the beautiful Chalke Valley Benefice. We aim to be warm and welcoming to all. We have church services twice a month. On the second Sunday at 11.00am we hold Morning Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer and on the fourth Sunday at 9.30am we hold a Communion Service from Common Worship. During the Summer months, starting in June, we will be holding Evensong at 5.30pm to replace Morning Prayer.

All Saints' Church is open daily from around 9am to 5pm. We welcome people of all faiths and those of none. The Church is the heart of our community and is available for everyone. Do drop in for a few moments of peace and reflection in your busy day.

We are a small village (population of 221 in 2021) with a strong community and hold a number of annual village events. Watch out for the Progressive Supper, Quiz Night, Eco Picnic & Nature Count, Village BBQ, Ride & Stride, Harvest Festival, Bonfire Bash, Christmas Tree Festival and Downton Band Concert.

We are proud to have joined the Eco Church Project, and we received our Bronze Award at the end of May 2024.

We look forward to meeting you!
