On the next two weekends (28-29 January and 4-5 February 2017), take part in the world's largest wildlife survey, the Big Garden Birdwatch!
Last year, in the UK alone, more than half a million people participated and they counted over 8 million birds!
If you live in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands or in Belgium, there are loads of resources to facilitate your participation in this huge event!
