Your Big Garden Birdwatch contributions really count – not least in highlighting how birds fare in different places. In 2023, House Sparrows were the most-recorded birds across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

But results for Chaffinches varied widely – they didn’t make the top 10 in England or the UK overall, but hit number six in Northern Ireland and Wales, and three in Scotland.

Together, let’s make it count

The 45th Big Garden Birdwatch takes place between 26–28 January 2024. To take part, register below. Our birds are facing many challenges with the nature and climate emergency. It’s more important than ever to submit your results. Every bird you count matters, so challenge your friends and family to take part.
