Once you're officially on board, taking part couldn’t be easier – just sit back with your bird watching binoculars and watch the birds in your garden for one hour. Don't have a garden? No problem! Even a small window feeder will attract an array of birds to your bird watch. Share your findings with the RSPB, and tell them what you’ve spotted. Who knows, surprises might just wing their way over to you!

We've lost 38 million birds from the UK skies in the last 60 years. While house sparrows took last year's top spot with 9.1 million sightings, they’re down by 57% compared to the first Birdwatch in 1979. Song thrush numbers are also down by a whopping 80%, mainly due to fewer green spaces, pollution and climate change. By taking part, you’ll help give the RSPB a better picture of how our British birds are fairing and what we can do to help them thrive. Every bird you do or don’t count makes a difference, so be part of something that matters.

The Big Garden Birdwatch has revealed that for some birds, our gardens are a hotspot for food, water and shelter.

Give nature a helping hand with our natural collection of bird baths, nest boxes, feeders and other wildlife garden accessories. It’s small actions like these that can make a big impact - the sky’s the limit.

Happy tweeting!
