Big Garden Birdwatch

Big Garden Birdwatch is fun, free and for everyone. And you don't need a garden to take part! Counting birds from your balcony, your local park or your campsite pitch will play a vital role in helping the RSPB understand how UK birds are doing.

Sign up for your free guide and let's look out for birds together.

The fact that we've lost 38 million birds from UK skies in the last 50 years underlines that nature is in crisis. We see it in our own back gardens with house sparrows struggling and starlings undergoing a severe decline. As a conservation charity, your Birdwatch results help us monitor how our UK birds are faring in the face of the nature and climate emergency. But we can't do it without your support.

By taking part in Big Garden Birdwatch you, and hundreds of thousands of other like-minded nature lovers, will be taking action to protect our birds for generations to come.

You don't need to be an RSPB member to take part and if you're a teacher, you can inspire your students with Big Schools' Birdwatch.
