#204: The RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 2024

This takes place between the 26th and 28th of January 2024 for homes, and schools are also welcome to take part of course.

It's important to both take part in, but also encourage all students to take part in this important citizen science project in 2024. 

I've registered for the event, and chosen to receive a digital guide rather than a printed guide.

Across the UK, over half a million people took part in Big Garden Birdwatch 2023, counting a whopping 9.1 million birds! House Sparrows took the top spot, but counts of these chirpy birds are down by 57% 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.

Here are the results for 2023
