Amy from BirdWatch Ireland has been in touch and asked us to inform you that This year's Irish Garden Bird survey will kick off on Monday, November 25th and run until Sunday, February 23rd 2025.



The simple survey asks people to spend a short amount of time each week watching their garden birds and recording what they see. By gathering information from members of the public about the birds visiting gardens and other outdoor spaces such as balconies and schoolyards, BirdWatch Ireland can get a better understanding of how bird populations are faring in Ireland. Up to 2,000 households in Ireland take part annually and this year marks the 36th year of the survey.

Participating in the Irish Garden Bird Survey each winter is a simple and effective way of contributing to a crucial body of data that will help to guide conservation, while also increasing your bird knowledge. The survey is open to individuals, families, schools and local community groups.

The Irish Garden Bird Survey is fun, free and open to everyone! Over 1,600 households took part last year and the survey opens again in December 2019.
