Big Garden Birdwatch this weekend

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.

Across the UK, over 600,000 people took part in Big Garden Birdwatch 2024, counting a whopping 9.7 million birds! House Sparrows took the top spot, but counts of these chirpy birds are down by 60% 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.
