It's the RSPB Garden Birdwatch and you find Mel Doel in the garden of the house of the future at the National History Museum, at St Fagans. We look at how you can join in and children can get involved at their school. And why RSPB Cymru has called for an independent inquiry into why the Welsh Assembly Government has failed to stop the loss of Welsh wildlife.
But not just all birds we're also hear that there are calls for the Welsh Assembly Government to standardise school holidays across Wales as thousands of children could miss out on the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show next year. While youngsters from most parts will start their summer holiday in time for the start of the show, pupils from Gwynedd will still be in lessons when the show starts and will miss the first three days.
And calling all divers around the coast of Wales - have you seen a Crawfish off our shores in recent years? Recreational divers in Wales are being asked to look through their old dive log books for records of crawfish in Welsh waters. The information is being gathered by Kate Lock on behalf of the Wales Biodiversity Partnership. If you can help out, contact Kate at rumbalock@tiscali.co.uk
