Test your bird ID skills ahead of the Big Garden Birdwatch (January 26-27).

What’s that Bird?

There is just one week to go until the World’s largest wildlife survey. So to prepare you for the big day and celebrate the start of Big Schools Birdwatch on Monday, we’ve prepared a few short quizzes  designed to test your bird knowledge.

The Big Garden Birdwatch is open to everyone regardless of age, knowledge or experience. It’s a fun and easy way to learn more about the wildlife in your garden or local park, whilst at the same time contributing to an important piece of citizen science.

To take part all you need is a pen, paper, an ID sheet or book (if needed) and one hour over the 26th and 27th Jan to count and record the highest number of each bird species you see at any one time, rather than adding them up throughout the hour. This means you won’t risk counting the same bird twice.
