RSPB BIG SCHOOLS' BIRDWATCH 2023

9th Feb 2023

Big Schools’ Birdwatch is a great way to encourage the next generation of birders and support important research. Each participating group or class takes an hour to explore their surroundings, identify local birds, and collect data for the RSPB — Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Using resources provided by the RSPB, our children spend an hour counting the birds they see. As the world’s biggest birdwatch, Big Schools’ Birdwatch encourages children to appreciate their local nature, spend time outdoors, and develop their interest in wildlife. In addition to engaging kids in birdwatching, the project helps the RSPB understand how bird numbers change each year, helping them monitor the condition of various species and plan future conservation efforts.
