Update: Competition now closed - the lucky winner was cumbrian_goodlife via instagram. Thanks to everybody for their entries, it made for really quite emotional reading.
The Big Garden Birdwatch is back this month and it couldn't have come at a better time. Not that we need a reason to spend an hour enjoying the wildlife on our doorstep, but!
In celebration of the Birdwatch we're giving you the chance to win a beautiful Green&Blue Birdball seed feeder for you, and one for a friend, yay!
There are three ways to enter.
1. Look for our Birdwatch competition post on our instagram page. Follow the instructions there.
2. Look for the competition post on our facebook and follow the instructions there.
3. Leave a comment on this blog post and tell us who you'd love to go birdwatching with right now.
Enter via all 3 and increase your chances!
The Big Garden Birdwatch competition closes on Sunday 24th January at midnight and we'll choose a winner on Monday - we're hoping to get your feeder to you and your friend before the Birdwatch begins!
Our decision is final, no cash alternative, competition is not endorsed by instagram or facebook.
The Big Garden Birdwatch takes place from the 29th to the 31st January and you can choose any hour within these dates to complete your count. All you have to do is then count the birds within your garden during this time and afterwards submit your results to the RSPB.
The Birdwatch is one of the largest citizen science projects in existence and gives vital data to help understand the challenges faced by our wildlife species. It's also a brilliant reason to spend some time in your garden or balcony (restrictions this year mean that you have to stay pretty close to home), to enjoy the wildlife on your doorstep and to maybe even be inspired to think of ways to encourage even more species for next year!
Sign up for more information or find more details of how to get involved from the RSPB right here.

My nephew Louis, who is drawing birds and insects for a school art project.
I’d love to go birdwatching with my niece (who is one and a half) and her younger sister who is 2 weeks old, who, due to COVID I haven’t been able to meet yet 😞
I’d love to go birdwatching with my husband!
Wanted one of these for ages!! 💕
I would love to go bird watching with my best friend whom I haven’t seen since March. We are both avid birdwatchers and have spent many days prior to Covid enjoying birds in our back gardens, wild life walks together and appreciating those long waits for the best photograph. Looking forward to being able to meet up again, but in the meantime a new feeder would be a fab surprise for her!
