To top it off, visitors will be treated to an afternoon tea specially prepared by the home’s head chef.

The home has also invited a local carers support group to join them for the occasion.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch, which encourages people nationwide to count the birds in their gardens to allow the charity to monitor trends and understand how different species are doing. Data from more than half a million people is compared year-on-year to provide a snapshot of bird numbers across the UK.

Helena Barrow, home manager, said, “The residents have spent the last few weeks filling bird feeders and reading up on the variety of birdlife often spotted around Hailsham.”
