What is Big Garden Birdwatch?

Big Garden Birdwatch is the world’s largest garden wildlife survey. Every year, hundreds of thousands of nature lovers like you take part, helping to build a picture of how garden birds are faring.

How to take part

1. Get your free guide and stock up on supplies, with 20% off and free delivery on food and feeders at the RSPB shop.
2. Spend an hour watching the birds in your patch, between 23 and 25 January, and record the birds that land.
3. Tell us what you saw (even if that’s nothing at all)! You can submit your results online or by post.
