What is Big Garden Birdwatch?

The Big Garden Birdwatch stands as the world's largest garden wildlife survey. Annually, nature enthusiasts, much like yourself, participate, contributing to the understanding of the status of garden birds. The event is scheduled for January 26th, 27th, and 28th this year.

You can join the world's largest garden wildlife survey here with RSBB and log the birds you see. 


Last year’s Birdwatch

Across the UK, over half a million people took part in Big Garden Birdwatch 2023, counting a whopping 9.1 million birds! House Sparrows took the top spot, but counts of these chirpy birds are down by 57% compared to the first Birdwatch in 1979. In fact, we’ve lost 38 million birds from UK skies in the last 60 years. With birds facing so many challenges, it’s more important than ever to get involved in the Birdwatch. Every bird you do – or don’t – count will give us a valuable insight into how garden birds are faring.
