Activity – The Big Garden BirdWatch

Get involved, make a difference, have fun!

Looking for some way you can take action for nature while staying at home this January? Well here’s just the thing… The RSPB is running its annual Big garden Birdwatch (Big Garden Birdwatch | Join the fun – The RSPB) from the 29th to the 31st of January 2021. It involves taking an hour of your day to count the number of wildlife visitors to your garden or outside space, and then adding your information to the online survey. It is free and really easy to do, so is perfect for everyone at home to get involved with. This event is so useful to see which species are common nation-wide and crucially, which ones need our support. It is also a great way for you to connect with the wildlife on your doorstep, whether you have a large garden or small window box, to strengthen your connection with all the organisms that call your patch home. The more people who get involved, the more data is collected which can help us improve our relationship and support for nature in our local areas. So throw those curtains wide, grab a coffee and get spotting – who knows what wonderful creatures you might see when you take the time to appreciate nature at home?
