Big Garden Birdwatch

29 - 31 January 2021:  The Big Garden Birdwatch

All you need is an hour at some point during that time to watch the birds!

Take part in the Big Garden Birdwatch and join around half a million other people helping the RSPB to work out which birds are doing well and which could do with more help!

The Big Garden Birdwatch takes place from 29 to 31 January 2021. 

In 2020, nearly half a million people spotted 8 million birds in their garden - the results are here but I can tell you that the House Sparrow got the top slot number one!

To take part in the Big Garden Birdwatch, all you need to do is:

1. Register with the RSPB
2. Spend an hour in your garden or local park watching the birds and working out who you're seeing e.g. robins, blackbirds, house sparrow.  Enjoy the sights and sounds of our feathered friends and if you see any other wildlife, you can make a note of them as well! 
3. Report your findings to the RSPB

They will then work out which birds are doing well and which aren't, and help the ones who aren't accordingly!

There's plenty of activities for you to do as well on the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch pages, such as finding out which bird are you and tips and tricks for taking photos.   Lots more will be happening during the weekend.

Sign up for all you need to take part, including a free guide to help you identify what you see.  It's also got expert advice on feeding the birds. Plus, you’ll also receive 20% off in the shop and free delivery.
