The RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch happened earlier this year in January; it happened during the last three days of January 2021.
This year's Big Garden Birdwatch has been the biggest ever.
The RSPB has announced that over 1 million people have taken part this year. This is great news, as the more people that take part, the more people that take the more we can help nature.
The Big Garden Birdwatch 2021 happened on the 29th, 30th and 31st of January this year. The Big Garden Birdwatch is when people count the birds in their garden for an hour on one of those dates. It is an important date in the yearly wildlife calendar, as it helps the RSPB to understand what birds are doing well and what birds are declining in our gardens each year.
After months of waiting, the results of the Big Garden Birdwatch 2021 are here! Before we look at the results for the Big Garden Birdwatch 2021, let's have a quick recap of the Big Garden Birdwatch Results of 2020.
