Big Garden Birdwatch is a great way to get away from your computer and reconnect with the wildlife outside your door/office/local park for a few hours. 

However, that doesn't mean we want you to abandon your computer forever.

In fact, we'd love you to share with us your Birdwatch tips, tricks and bird identity puzzles on our Big Garden Birdwatch group. We've also got fun polls and quizzes running on over on Facebook and Twitter.  

We'd also love you to share your photos with us: you can either join us on Instagram, or share your photos with us on Flickr. Just tag your pics #birdwatch to ensure we don’t miss them!

Could you be a winner?

Are you on Pinterest? So are we, and we’ve got a whole board dedicated to the big event! And when you re-pin from our board, you’ll be entering yourself into our competition for a chance to win one of five Big Garden Birdwatch survival kits. For more details check out the terms and conditions

And finally, don’t forget to pick up your copy of the Daily Telegraph this weekend for your chance to collect Kate Humble’s Guide to 100 Birds of Britain - a free, two-part CD and booklet.
