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.

I would love to go birdwatching with my Grandpa again, when I first got ill with my mental health he introduced me to birdwatching and took me to an RSPB reserve and now I notice birds everyday and I am better for it.
I gave one of the bird feeders to my daughter and we love them so much!!!!! They are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. I’d love to gift my neighbors who love sitting in the garden with me and watching the wrens feast!!
Would love to be watching the birds with my bestie Sally-Anne who not been able to meet with since March
I would love to go birdwatching with my sister who lives up on Shetland where the bird watching is just mind blowing… Sadly not been able to see her for 18mths now. Bring on he vaccine, the summer, and more bird Cc watching further afield… In the meantime, I would love to watch the birds in my back garden, feeding from one of these 😀🤞🏻
I’d love to go birdwatching with My Dad who I haven’t seen for months now
