The big garden bird watch takes place between 23rd and 25th January in 2026. Do you love to see and watch the garden birds?
Did you know in the last 60 years we have lost over 38 million birds – shocking isn’t it.
This is what the RSPB would like you to do. Spend and hour between 23rd and 25th January and help count our garden birds. This is what they say.
Every Birdwatch counts
Across the UK, over 590,000 people took part in Big Garden Birdwatch 2025, counting a whopping 9.1 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.
