Residents at a Hampton Hill care home have their binoculars at the ready for the world’s largest wildlife survey this weekend.

Laurel Dene’s residents will be counting the different birds, badgers, hedgehogs and other wildlife for the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch on Saturday and Sunday at the home.

Home manager Kathy Harman said: "Connecting with our outdoor space and taking the time to observe birds and wildlife can be extremely beneficial for residents, particularly for those who are living with dementia.

“The quiet, calming nature of bird watching can help lower anxiety, while the colourful sights and distinctive sounds of our feathered friends provide plenty of sensory stimulation.”
