What's in the pack?

Big Garden Birdwatch pack shot.

  • Garden bird identification sheet – this full-colour guide will show you 15 of the birds you’re most likely to see on the big day. It includes details about their colours, sizes and behaviours to help you work out what you’ve seen.
  • Participation form – during your hour, have your form all ready to go next to you. (Of course, you can complete your form online to get your results in even quicker. When you’ve registered, you won’t need to add all your personal details again, you can just log in on the day and submit your results right away.)
  • Advice guide – this 24-page booklet includes lots of tips to help you prepare for Big Garden Birdwatch and have the best experience possible. It also includes a full 12-month wildlife calendar, with tips about how you can give nature a home in your garden, and species to look out for throughout the year.
  • Recipe card – this handy recipe card has got something for everyone: a recipe for delicious biscuits for you, plus a top bird cake recipe that your garden birds will go nuts for.
  • Sachet of RSPB Bird Friendly ® coffee – this fresh ground, medium roast coffee is grown in a way that protects the habitat of local wildlife – local in Nicaragua, that is! The organic Fairtrade beans are slow roasted to develop a sweet caramel-toned coffee with a hint of lemon. You can enjoy it knowing you're doing the best for nature. Ideal for a cafetiere, but no specialist equipment is required - simply use a cloth or tea strainer.
  • Coaster – you’ll have somewhere to put your delicious cup of coffee or tea with this Big Garden Birdwatch coaster.

Plus, there's more!

Register now, and we'll also send you a £5 discount voucher (some T&Cs apply) for the RSPB online shop. Here you can find the very best quality bird food and feeders, plus a huge range of wildlife themed gifts.

Register now and your pack will be with you in January in time for Big Garden Birdwatch 2017.
