Join the annual RSPB BIG GARDEN BIRDWATCH.

Resources

Paper and pen to record birds.
OPTIONALLY: attached recording sheet OR resources available at rspb.org.uk/birdwatch

Instructions

Prior to the bird watch, why not use another activity to make bird seed puddings to put in the garden the week before. Week of the Bird watch, go through recognition of Birds and give out sheets.

Count the birds and enjoy time with nature rspb.org.uk/birdwatch.
To play your part in the world’s largest bird survey this January, just follow the simple instructions below:

1. Pick a time
You can choose any hour between the dates given by RSPB. So whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, you can still take part.

2. Tell RSPB what you see
Count the birds that land in your garden or park, or on your balcony. Ignore any birds that are still in flight. To avoid double-counting, just record the highest number of each bird species you see at any one time – not a running total.

3. Submit your results
Online: You can submit your results online at rspb.org.uk/birdwatch. Please post your results to before the deadline given on the Bird Watch website.

Every count is important so, if you don’t see anything, please still submit your result. Finding out which birds don’t visit your area is as important as understanding those which do!

Check out the RSPB resources at rspb.org.uk/birdwatch for more information and printable bird ID sheets to help you, or posters you can display to show you're taking part.
