RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch
What is the Big Garden Birdwatch?
Big Garden Birdwatch is the UK’s biggest citizen science wildlife survey. By taking part, you can help understand how garden birds are doing right now. This years survey runs from Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th January.
Across the UK, over 590,000 people took part in Big Garden Birdwatch 2025, counting a whopping 9.1 million birds! House Sparrows took the top spot, but counts of these chirpy birds are down by 64% compared to the first Birdwatch in 1979. In fact, we’ve lost 38 million birds from UK skies in the last 60 years. With birds facing so many challenges, it’s more important than ever to get involved in the Birdwatch. Every bird you do – or don’t – count will give us a valuable insight into how garden birds are faring.
Here are the 2025 survey results for Wales:
